The Miami Heat have released a video compilation highlighting the moments in which Pelle Larsson gets hit in the face, a nearly nine-minute clip that has quickly drawn attention across the NBA.
Guard Pelle Larsson has established himself as one of the key players for the Miami Heat this season.
With his energy on both ends of the floor, Larsson has earned the trust of the Miami Heat coaching staff and more than doubled his production compared to his rookie season.

However, that level of intensity and constant activity has come with a price.
Fans who have watched the Miami Heat more than once this season have likely seen Pelle Larsson take contact to the face during games.
Those who have followed Miami more closely may have noticed a striking pattern, with Larsson seemingly getting hit in the face on a near-nightly basis.
With that in mind, the Miami Heat shared an unusual compilation showing Larsson being struck in the face 53 times this season, a figure that could potentially be some kind of record.
The Swedish guard has played 70 games for the Miami Heat this season, averaging 11.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 3.4 assists in 26 minutes per game.
