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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
