Yves Missi News, Rumors, Updates - New Orleans Pelicans

Logs 12 minutes in return Missi produced five points (2-3 FG, 1-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 12 minutes during Saturday's 115-105 win over the Jazz.

Impact Missi returned from a five-game absence as a result of a calf injury, logging 12 minutes off the bench. Although DeAndre Jordan has been starting, there is a decent chance Missi supplants him at some point in the near future. With that said, based on what we have seen from Missi this season, there is no reason to be adding him outside of deeper formats.

Cleared to play Saturday Missi (calf) is available for Saturday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Missi has been given the green light to return from a five-game absence due to a left calf strain. It's unclear how the Pelicans' rotation will be impacted by Missi's return, given that DeAndre Jordan has started in each of the last three games while rookie first-rounder Derik Queen has come off the bench in each of his last two outings. Missi averaged 6.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.6 blocks over 21.6 minutes per game in his 20 appearances (one start) since the new year.

Questionable to face Utah Missi (calf) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Missi is in danger of missing a sixth straight game due to a left calf strain. If the second-year big man is ultimately ruled out, Karlo Matkovic and DeAndre Jordan would be candidates for increased playing time.

Out again Thursday Missi (calf) will remain on the inactive list for Thursday's game in Utah.

Impact Thursday will mark Missi's fifth consecutive game on the sidelines, and it's not a great sign that he continues to get ruled out a full day in advance of tipoff. For now, he should be considered highly questionable for Saturday's rematch with the Jazz.

Another absence coming Missi is out for Tuesday's game against the Warriors due to a strained left calf.

Impact Missi is set for a fourth consecutive absence Tuesday, and his timeline for a return remains in the dark prior to Thursday's clash against the Jazz. DeAndre Jordan and Karlo Matkovic are likely to share the backup center minutes behind Derik Queen on Tuesday.

Remains out Saturday Missi (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Missi will miss his third consecutive contest due to a left calf strain, and his next chance to play will come Tuesday against the Warriors. Karlo Matkovic will likely see a bump in playing time due to Missi being sidelined.

Out with calf strain Missi is out for Friday's game against the Bucks due to a strained left calf.

Impact Missi was sidelined for New Orleans' final outing before the All-Star break with left calf soreness, which has since been downgraded to a strain. Saturday's matchup versus the 76ers marks the second-year big man's next opportunity to play. Karlo Matkovic and Kevon Looney should make up a timeshare for the backup center minutes behind Derik Queen on Friday.

FEBRUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Wednesday Missi (calf) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Heat.

Impact Missi was added to the injury report with a sore left calf less than 30 minutes before tipoff, and he'll wind up being unavailable. His absence should mean more opportunities for Karlo Matkovic, while Kevon Looney could crack the rotation. Missi's next chance to play will come after the All-Star break, when the Pelicans begin a back-to-back Feb. 20.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Late addition to injury report Missi (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Heat.

Impact Missi was added to the injury report less than 30 minutes before tipoff due to left calf soreness, which isn't a positive sign for his availability. If he's ultimately ruled out, Karlo Matkovic would likely see a bump in minutes behind Derik Queen.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Only 15 minutes in win Missi logged two points (1-2 FG), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 15 minutes during Friday's 119-115 victory over the Timberwolves.

Impact Missi's playing time continues to fluctuate, having played anywhere from 11 minutes to 31 minutes, just in the past three games alone. His opportunities appear to be linked to the play of Derik Queen. If and when Queen is having a positive impact, Missi typically sees backup-level minutes. If Queen is struggling, Missi shifts into a larger role. For now, he should be viewed as nothing more than a streaming consideration for anyone needing rebounds and blocks.

Four rejections in Philly Missi notched seven points (3-8 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and four blocks in 28 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 124-114 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact The second-year center tied his season high in blocks, a mark he's reached twice in the last three games. Missi still isn't much of a contributor on offense, but over the last 12 games he's averaging 2.0 blocks along with 6.7 points, 7.3 boards and 1.6 assists in 22.8 minutes from the second unit.

Yves Missi Highlights vs. Spurs 1/25/26

Double-double off bench Missi posted 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 30 minutes during Sunday's 104-95 victory over the Spurs.

Impact Missi wasn't incredibly efficient from the field, but he still made his presence felt across the stat sheet in Sunday's win. The outing marked his third double-double of the season and just the sixth time he's reached double figures as a scorer. While the big man's usage has dipped from his rookie year following the addition of Derik Queen, performances like this are a reminder of Missi's ability to contribute productively when called upon.
