MIAMI — The Miami Heat made a roster move on Wednesday.

Miami announced they have exercised a team option on guard Pelle Larsson.

Last season, Larsson’s second in the NBA, he played in 70 games for the Heat, averaging 11.4 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 26.4 minutes per game.

He shot 49.6% from the field and 79.7% from the free throw line.

The Heat made a big splash earlier this week, agreeing to acquire superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee Bucks for a hoard of players and draft picks, including Tyler Herro and Kel’el Ware.
