Pelicans' Yves Missi: Contributes defensively Wednesday
Missi posted six points (3-6 FG), 10 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 122-111 victory over the Raptors.
Missi hasn't scored in double digits since Jan. 25 against the Kings, but the second-year center contributed on the defensive side of the floor with two blocked shots. Wednesday was his 23rd multi-block game of the season, three of which have come over his last four outings. Since returning from a seven-game absence in February due to a strained left calf, Missi has averaged 5.0 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.7 blocks over 14.9 minutes per game.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Back to bench Friday
Missi is not in the Pelicans' starting lineup against the Suns on Friday.
Missi was in the Pelicans' starting five for Thursday's 133-123 win over the Kings, when he finished with seven points, two rebounds, one assist, four blocks and two steals over 16 minutes. He'll revert to a bench role for Friday's contest while the Pelicans roll with a starting five of Dejounte Murray, Trey Murphy, Herbert Jones, Saddiq Bey and Zion Williamson.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Running with starters
Missi is starting Thursday's game against the Kings.
Missi will make his first start since Jan. 2 as he'll rotate into the first unit with Dejounte Murray (rest) sidelined Thursday. Missi is averaging 5.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in three games since returning from a left calf strain.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Logs 12 minutes in return
Missi (calf) produced five points (2-3 FG, 1-3 FT), three rebounds, three blocks and one assist across 12 minutes during Saturday's 115-105 win over the Jazz.
Missi returned from a five-game absence due to a left calf strain and handled a small role off the bench. Though DeAndre Jordan made a fourth straight start at center, he could eventually drop out of the rotation and open up a spot on the top unit for Missi. Even if that materializes, Missi would still likely need to move into a consistent 20-plus-minute role before he re-emerges as a viable streaming option for rebounds and blocks.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Cleared to play Saturday
Missi (calf) is available for Saturday's game against the Jazz.
Missi has been given the green light to return from a five-game absence due to a left calf strain. It's unclear how the Pelicans' rotation will be impacted by Missi's return, given that DeAndre Jordan has started each of the last three games while rookie first-rounder Derik Queen has come off the bench in each of his last two outings. Missi has averaged 6.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.6 blocks over 21.6 minutes per game in 20 appearances (one start) since the new year.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Questionable to face Utah
Missi (calf) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Jazz.
Missi is in danger of missing a sixth straight game due to a left calf strain. If the second-year big man is ultimately ruled out, Karlo Matkovic and DeAndre Jordan would be candidates for increased playing time.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Out again Thursday
Missi (calf) will remain out for Thursday's game in Utah.
Thursday will mark Missi's fifth consecutive game on the sidelines, and it's not a great sign that he continues to get ruled out a full day in advance of tipoff. For now, he should be considered highly questionable for Saturday's rematch with the Jazz.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Another absence coming
Missi is out for Tuesday's game against the Warriors due to a strained left calf.
Missi is set for a fourth consecutive absence Tuesday, and his timeline for a return remains in the dark heading into Thursday's clash against the Jazz. DeAndre Jordan and Karlo Matkovic are likely to share the backup center minutes behind Derik Queen on Tuesday.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Remains out Saturday
Missi (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the 76ers.
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.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Out with calf strain
Missi is out for Friday's game against the Bucks due to a strained left calf.
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.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Won't play Wednesday
Missi (calf) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Heat.
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.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Late addition to injury report
Missi (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Heat.
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.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: 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.
Missi's playing time continues to fluctuate, with him 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.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: 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.
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.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: 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.
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.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: 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.
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.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: 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.
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.
