    Report note

    Injury/Illness - Illness (2026-11-14, DET@MIA). Prior reporting (2026-11-14): Larsson (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pistons. Larsson was listed as doubtful to play earlier in the day, and he's now officially been ruled out due to an illness. He'll miss a second consecutive game after sitting out Friday's 133-121 win over Cleveland. Myron Gardner earned the start in Larsson's absence, while Andrew Wiggins and rookie Ryan Conwell each played 30-plus minutes off Miami's bench. Fantasy managers can expect a similar trend versus Detroit.
