Double-double against Brooklyn Missi finished with 12 points (6-13 FG), 12 rebounds, four assists and one block in 34 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 116-113 win over the Nets.

Impact The double-double was his second of the season, with the other coming Nov. 24 against the Bulls. Missi hadn't scored in double digits since then and hadn't pulled down double-digit boards since Nov. 29, and Wednesday marked just the second time in eight January games that the second-year center had played more than 21 minutes. Without a more consistent role in the Pelicans' frontcourt, Missi's only real fantasy appeal comes from his rim protection -- through eight contests this month, he's averaging 6.8 points, 6.4 boards, 1.6 assists and 1.4 blocks in 20.3 minutes.

Limited producion again Missi produced three points (1-5 FG, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block across 13 minutes during Friday's 128-107 win over Washington.

Impact Missi continues to deliver modest production, despite playing as the primary backup behind Derik Queen. While this is only his second season in the league, it appears as though Missi will struggle to be anything more than a backup at best. In 32 games this season, he is averaging just 5.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 17.7 minutes per contest.

Back to bench Sunday Missi is not in the Pelicans' starting lineup against the Heat on Sunday.

Impact Missi started in Friday's win over the Trail Blazers, when he logged five points, three rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal over 21 minutes. He'll revert to a bench role Sunday after Derik Queen (quadriceps) was cleared to return from a one-game absence.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Starting sans Queen Missi will start against Portland on Friday.

Impact With Derik Queen (quadriceps) sidelined, Missi will join the starting five for the first time since Nov. 30. In six starts so far this season, the second-year center has averaged 6.2 points and 6.2 rebounds while shooting 51.9 percent from the floor in 23.0 minutes per contest.

Available to play Missi (foot) is available for Saturday's game in Brooklyn.

Impact Missi is back after a two-game stint on the sidelines, and he should see meaningful minutes Saturday with Zion Williamson (thigh) out. Missi's return could result in fewer minutes for Karlo Matkovic.

DECEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Saturday Missi (foot/ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Nets.

Impact Missi is in jeopardy of missing his third consecutive contest due to a right foot and ankle sprain. If the second-year center is ultimately ruled out, Karlo Matkovic and Kevon Looney are candidates for increased minutes behind Derik Queen.

DECEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Thursday Missi (foot, ankle) won't play in Thursday's game against Minnesota.

Impact The 2024 first-rounder also had to sit out Tuesday's meeting with the Timberwolves with right foot and ankle soreness. His absence locks Derik Queen into big minutes Thursday, while Kevon Looney should sprinkle in as the backup center.

DECEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to out Missi is out for Tuesday's game against Minnesota due to right foot and ankle soreness.

Impact Missi's next opportunity to take the floor arrives during Thursday's meeting with the Timberwolves. Derik Queen should handle the lion's share of the center minutes Tuesday, with Kevon Looney likely to mix in off the bench a bit as the backup center.

DECEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Late addition to injury report Missi (foot, ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Minnesota, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Pelicans have added Missi to the injury report late due to foot and ankle soreness. If the second-year big man is unable to suit up, Derik Queen would be in line to dominate the center minutes Tuesday.

DECEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Sunday Missi is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Lakers, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Missi will get the start with Zion Williamson (hamstring) unavailable, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Jeremiah Fears, Bryce McGowens, Saddiq Bey and Derik Queen. Over five starts this season, Missi has compiled averages of 7.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 blocks per game.

First double-double in win Missi finished with 14 points (7-11 FG), 14 rebounds and three blocks across 29 minutes during Monday's 143-130 victory over the Bulls.

Impact It's a standout performance from Missi, who turned in his first double-double in 2025-26 and started the second half over rookie first-rounder Derik Queen. The expectation during the preseason was that Missi would be the Pelicans' top center this year, and he at least appears to be working toward claiming back that mantle. Missi has averaged 6.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 blocks in 20.7 minutes over his last six outings.
