Ties career high on glass Missi contributed nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Sunday's 119-104 loss to Indiana.

Impact The 14 boards tied the rookie's career high, a mark he's reached three times in the last three weeks.

Good to go Thursday Missi (ankle) is available for Thursday's game versus the Suns, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.

Questionable for Thursday Missi is questionable for Thursday's game against the Suns due to a right ankle sprain.

He's started the last four games, scoring in double digits in each of those contests and also averaging 9.8 boards per game. If he can't go Thursday, then Daniel Theis would likely start at center.

Lands career-high 21 points Missi registered 23 points (11-14 FG, 1-4 FT), 12 rebounds, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Monday's 124-112 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Missi recorded his third double-double in the past five games, including a career-high 21 points. Despite a brief trip to the locker room, Missi was able to return to action, also playing a career-high 35 minutes. The Pelicans are facing an uphill battle to make the playoffs, having won just four of their first 22 games. That could ensure Missi sticks in a sizeable role, even when they do get their full roster back on the court.

Over the past two weeks, he has averaged 11.0 points, 9.3 rebounds and 2.5 combined steals and blocks in 26.8 minutes per game. Although his productivity could take a hit when the Pelicans are fully healthy, Missi should continue to play as their primary center option moving forward.
