Key Points:

Miami Heat guard Pelle Larsson has agreed to a four-year, $60 million contract extension with a mutual option for the 2030-31 season, avoiding restricted free agency next summer.
Larsson, a second-round pick in the 2024 draft, has become a key player for the Heat, averaging 11.4 points per game last season and ranking high in offensive efficiency and minutes played.
He started 54 of 70 games last season and was among the top 10 players in charges drawn, highlighting his defensive impact.
Miami's offseason moves include acquiring Giannis Antetokounmpo in a trade and signing Klay Thompson, aiming to return to the playoffs after missing them last season for the first time in seven years.
