Doesn't suit up Wednesday Missi (rest) didn't play in Wednesday's 95-81 Summer League loss to the Thunder.

Impact Although Missi sat out the final three games of this past regular season due to left ankle soreness, he was able to make three Summer League appearances before the Pelicans opted to hold him out of action Wednesday. His prior availability this summer suggests he's moved past the ankle issue, and the 2024 first-rounder is set to open the new season as New Orleans' top center after starting 67 of his 73 games during his rookie year.

Won't suit up for finale Missi (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Missi will end up missing the final three games of the regular season due to left ankle soreness, though that could also be the wear-and-tear of his first season in the NBA. Missi had a successful season as a rookie, emerging as a reliable option at center and improving drastically as the season progressed. Missi averaged 9.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.3 blocks per game across 73 appearances (67 starts) as a rookie.

Remains out Friday Missi (ankle) will not play Friday against the Heat.

Downgraded to out Missi (ankle) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Bucks.

Impact Missi has been downgraded from questionable to out due Thursday due to left ankle soreness. Karlo Matkovic will likely receive increased playing time in his absence. Missi's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Miami.

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Thursday Missi is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bucks due to left ankle soreness.

Impact Thursday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set. Presumably, Missi could be held out for maintenance in one of these games. Kelly Olynyk is resting Thursday, so it's more likely that a maintenance day for Missi would occur Friday.

Posts another double-double Missi ended with 18 points (9-13 FG, 0-2 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Sunday's 111-107 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Missi grabbed double-digit boards for the fifth straight game, a span in which he's recorded three double-doubles, and the rookie continues to deliver solid value in the final stages of the regular season. Arguably one of the most surprising -- and productive -- first-year players in the 2024-25 campaign, Missi is ending the campaign on a hot streak with averages of 11.2 points, 10.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.5 blocks per game over his last 10 starts dating back to March 11.

Records double-double in loss Missi supplied 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Friday's 124-108 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Despite the Pelicans' struggles, Missi has been the team's most consistent producer down the stretch. The rookie out of Baylor is a nightly lock for a high rebound total and has averaged 9.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.4 blocked shots over 71 games.
