Yves Missi News, Rumors, Updates - New Orleans Pelicans

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.

Grabs 12 rebounds in loss Missi contributed six points (3-8 FG), 12 rebounds, four assists and three blocks across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 114-98 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Missi was able to keep up with Ivica Zubac despite the lopsided loss, and he registered numbers in every major statistical category. Along with his proficiency off the glass, he registered three blocked shots and tied a season high with four assists. The rookie has carved out a nice role for himself during his first season and should be considered a frontrunner for a starting role in the 2025-26 campaign.

Impact Missi didn't have his best shooting performance, as he had a tough matchup against the Warriors' frontcourt, but the rookie found a way to produce in a game where his team looked dominated. Missi has been one of the most consistent rookies in the NBA this season and posted a double-double for the second time across his last five appearances. He's averaging 10.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.1 blocks per game since the All-Star break.

Cleared to play Missi (hip) will play Monday against the 76ers.

Impact Missi will take the floor despite dealing with right hip soreness. He hasn't logged north of 30 minutes since Feb. 10, so it would be fair to expect between 25-to-28 minutes out of the Baylor product Monday evening.

Won't play Sunday Missi (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Missi and Zion Williamson (back) have been downgraded from questionable to out for the first half of the Pelicans' current back-to-back set. Karlo Matkovic should start at center, but Bruce Brown, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Jordan Hawkins are also candidates for increased roles against Detroit. Missi's next chance to suit up will come Monday against the 76ers.

Iffy for Sunday Missi is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Pistons due to right hip soreness.

Impact Missi has played in New Orleans' last three contests but could miss the first leg of the team's back-to-back Sunday due to a hip injury. If the rookie big man is forced to sit out, Karlo Matkovic could receive increased playing time.

Strong showing in win Missi finished with 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and three blocks over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 119-115 victory over Minnesota.

Impact Zion Williamson led the way for the Pelicans in this contest, but there's no question Missi made his presence felt as well, which was no easy feat considering he had to deal with the threat of Rudy Gobert during the entire contest. Missi ended just three boards shy of recording what would've been his fourth double-double since the All-Star break, and he's also scored at a solid rate with double-digit points in five of his last six contests.

Double-doubles in defeat Missi had 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds and two blocks in 22 minutes during Monday's 127-81 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Missi recorded his 11th double-double on the season during his return from a two-game absence streak due to a sprained left ankle. He has now logged double-digit rebounds in 20 of his 64 regular-season appearances. Additionally, the rookie big man tied the game-high mark in blocks, racking up multiple swats for the 24th game this season.
