UPDATE: Larsson is questionable to return but for a right elbow contustion.

With 5:01 left in the second quarter of Friday’s game against the Boston Celtics, Pelle Larsson was replaced by Andrew Wiggins. Larsson was playing defense when Jaylen Brown spun in the paint and elbowed Larsson in the face.

Simone Fontecchio started the second half for Larsson.

Prior to exiting, Larsson contributed five rebounds and three assists in 12 minutes of action.

If Larsson does not return, he will be eligible for DraftKings Early Exit since he left the game prior to halftime.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
