Pelicans' Yves Missi: Pulls down 12 rebounds
Missi chipped in six points (2-6 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds and one steal over 29 minutes during Friday's 101-94 victory over the Nuggets.
Missi didn't have his best shooting performance Friday, but the inconsistency in the scoring column is somewhat expected for a rookie who was always believed to be a work in progress on the offensive end of the court. He's making his presence felt on the glass, though. This 12-rebound haul was Missi's third straight game with double-digit boards, and he's averaging 7.6 boards per contest since he was moved to the starting lineup Nov. 1.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Records double-double
Missi supplied 10 points (5-5 FG), 10 rebounds and two assists over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 106-88 loss to Oklahoma City.
Missi seems to be adjusting quickly to the pace of the NBA game and posted his second straight double-double while also making each of his five shots from the field. There's no question the rookie big man is trending in the right direction, as he's scored in double digits in three of his last four outings. He's also averaging 9.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game while shooting 76.2 percent from the field in that stretch. Small sample size applies here, but he's definitively showing enough to remain as the Pelicans' starting center once the roster gets healthier.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Notches first career double-double
Missi had 17 points (7-8 FG, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 30 minutes during Monday's 107-105 loss to the Nets.
Missi had arguably the best showing of his young NBA career following one of his worst Friday against the Magic (zero points, one rebound, one steal and one block in 20 minutes). He paced the Pelicans with 11 boards and has now recorded at least one block in three straight appearances. There's little doubt that the opportunities to develop will continue to be there for Missi, especially while Herbert Jones (shoulder) and Zion Williamson (hamstring) remain sidelined.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Grabs career-high 10 rebounds
Missi finished Friday's 125-118 victory over Indiana with four points (2-5 FG), 10 rebounds and one block in 26 minutes.
Missi replaced Daniel Theis in the starting lineup, hauling down a career-high 10 rebounds in the process. He has had a solid start to his NBA career, averaging 6.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in just 20.9 minutes per game. While it is unclear whether he will remain a starter, it is a situation to keep a close eye on given his proven ability, especially on the defensive end.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Making first career start
Missi will start Friday's game against the Pacers, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Missi will make his first career start, replacing Daniel Theis in the starting lineup. Missi was held scoreless in 12 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's loss to the Warriors. However, in his first four appearances, he averaged 8.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 2.3 blocks and 0.8 steals in 21.8 minutes per game.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Good to go Friday
Missi (hip) is available for Friday's game versus the Pacers.
Missi has been upgraded from questionable to available despite dealing with a right lower abdominal bruise, as expected. The rookie center is averaging 6.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.8 blocks in 19.8 minutes across his five appearances this season.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Expected to play against Indiana
Coach Willie Green said he expects Missi (hip) to play in Friday's game versus the Pacers, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Missi is officially listed as questionable with a right lower abdominal contusion, but he is expected to suit up Friday. If Missi is upgraded to available, he will likely serve as New Orleans' backup center to Daniel Theis.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Game-time call Friday
Missi is questionable for Friday's game against the Pacers due to a right lower abdominal contusion.
Missi was held to only 12 minutes in Wednesday's clash against the Warriors due to the same injury, so it's no surprise to see he's landed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game. The team will undoubtedly monitor the rookie closely leading up to tipoff to determine whether he can suit up.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Limited by hip soreness
Missi was held scoreless (0-5 FG), with three rebounds and one assist across 12 minutes of Wednesday's 104-89 loss to the Warriors.
Missi logged fewer than 20 minutes for the first time this season despite Daniel Theis (ankle) seeing just five minutes Wednesday due to injury. Per Will Guillory of The Athletic, Missi was battling hip soreness stemming from a collision he had in Tuesday's game. Instead, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl saw most of the center work, totaling 23 minutes. While Missi hasn't put together any gaudy stat lines, he's been a strong per-minute producer and has been a great source of blocks.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Will return Tuesday
Missi will return to Tuesday's game versus the Warriors in the second half despite dealing with a lower abdomen injury, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
Missi was shaken up while contesting a shot at the rim during the first half of Tuesday's contest. However, the rookie big man should be available to complete the game.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Three rejections in NBA debut
Missi provided 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal in 23 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 123-111 victory over the Bulls.
The 21st overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft made an impact at the rim in his debut while providing good all-around production. The 20-year-old Baylor product might not see this kind of workload on a regular basis, however. Zion Williamson (illness) missed Wednesday's game, with Daniel Theis playing 19 minutes as the Pelicans' starting center in his place. Once Williamson is healthy, Missi and Theis may have to split backup minutes in the frontcourt.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: 100 percent for camp
Pelicans vice president of basketball operations David Griffin said Monday that Missi (back) will be ready for training camp, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
Missi battled some minor back soreness during Summer League, but it was never expected to linger into training camp. The 21st overall pick in this year's draft, Missi has a massive opportunity to play meaningful minutes for the Pelicans due to their lack of frontcourt depth after the departure of Jonas Valanciunas.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Battling back soreness
Missi won't play in Saturday's Summer League game against the Nuggets due to lower back soreness, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Missi won't suit up for the Pelicans' final Summer League contest as he tends to pain in his lower back. The 20-year-old flashed some of the rim protection and athleticism in Las Vegas that coaxed the Pelicans into selecting him with the 21st overall pick in this year's draft. He should be ready to go for training camp.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Scores 11 points with three blocks
Missi went 5-of-8 from the floor and 1-of-2 at the line Thursday, tallying 11 points, six rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one turnover across 30 minutes in an exhibition loss to Memphis.
Missi hadn't been terribly impressive through his first three outings in Las Vegas, but he showed some promise Thursday with his instincts as a rim defender. He also exhibited some nice footwork in the post. Missi is an impressive athlete, so it'll be interesting to see what kind of role he can earn in New Orleans during his rookie season.
