Pelicans' Yves Missi: Productive off bench
Missi produced six points (3-4 FG), eight rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 20 minutes of Friday's 107-97 preseason win over Melbourne United.
Kevon Looney started this contest at center, but he was pretty quiet in 18 minutes. Meanwhile, Missi provided a huge lift off the bench and appears ready to take that next step as a player in his second season. Preseason lineups are usually not worth reading into too heavily, but this will be a position battle to watch.

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

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

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Remains out Friday
Missi (ankle) will not play Friday against the Heat.
Missi is set to miss his second consecutive game due to left ankle soreness. In his absence, Karlo Matkovic should see a heightened role Friday. Missi will have one more opportunity to play this season, as the Pelicans conclude their regular season Sunday against the Thunder.

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

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

Pelicans' Yves Missi: 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.
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.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: 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.
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.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: 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.
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 front-runner for a starting role in the 2025-26 campaign.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Records double-double
Missi registered 12 points (3-7 FG, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds and one block over 28 minutes during Friday's 111-95 loss to the Warriors.
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.
