• Pelicans' Yves Missi: Won't suit up for finale

  Rotowire Apr 12, 2025

  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: Questionable for Thursday

  Rotowire Apr 9, 2025

  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

  Rotowire Apr 7, 2025

  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: Grabs 12 rebounds in loss

  Rotowire Apr 3, 2025

  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: Won't play Sunday

  Rotowire Mar 23, 2025

  Missi (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pistons. 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.

  Rotowire Mar 22, 2025

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

• Pelicans' Yves Missi: Strong showing in win

  Rotowire Mar 20, 2025

  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. 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.

He has averaged 10.0 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.9 blocks over 26.5 minutes per game since the All-Star break. Karlo Matkovic would continue to see an increased workload if Missi is ruled out for Monday's contest.

• Pelicans' Yves Missi: Questionable to face San Antonio

  Rotowire Mar 14, 2025

  Missi (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Spurs. Missi is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive contest due to the left ankle sprain that he sustained during Tuesday's win over the Clippers. The rookie big man was able to return during Tuesday's game, though he sat out Thursday's loss to Orlando. If Missi remains on the shelf, Karlo Matkovic and Mo Bamba are candidates for an uptick in playing time.

• Pelicans' Yves Missi: Iffy for Thursday

  Rotowire Mar 12, 2025

  Missi has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Magic due to a left ankle sprain. Missi has missed only three games this season, but his status will need to be monitored leading up to Thursday's contest. If the 20-year-old rookie is ruled out against Orlando, the team will likely turn to Karlo Matkovic and Mo Bamba to pick up the slack in the frontcourt.

• Pelicans' Yves Missi: Nearly double-doubles

  Rotowire Mar 12, 2025

  Missi supplied nine points (3-6 FG, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 127-120 win over the Clippers. Missi limped back to the locker room with 2:59 remaining in the first quarter due to an apparent ankle injury, but he returned to the game midway through the second quarter. Missi's fantasy production has left a lot to be desired in recent weeks, as he's averaging 10.4 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.8 blocks in 26.8 minutes over his last 10 games.

• Pelicans' Yves Missi: Scores 10 points in loss

  Rotowire Mar 7, 2025

  Missi supplied 10 points (3-5 FG, 4-6 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 28 minutes during Thursday's 109-97 loss to Houston. Although he's averaging 24.8 minutes per game over his last 10 outings, Missi's production has left a lot to be desired. In that stretch, Missi has been well outside the top-200 in nine-category formats, averaging 8.7 points, 7.5 rebounds and 0.9 blocks on 51.3 percent shooting from the field.

• Pelicans' Yves Missi: Goes for 24 points Friday

  Rotowire Mar 1, 2025

  Missi finished Friday's 125-108 loss to the Suns with 24 points (11-14 FG, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block over 26 minutes. Missi has been one of the most productive and consistent rookies in the 2024-25 NBA season, and the former Baylor standout recorded double-digit points for the third game in a row. He's been averaging 9.1 points and 8.6 rebounds per game since the beginning of February, and it seems he has locked down the starting role at center for the rest of the campaign as the Pelicans attempt to make a late push for a Play-In berth.

• Pelicans' Yves Missi: Logs double-double in win

  Rotowire Feb 25, 2025

Missi recorded his first double-double since Jan. 3, marking his ninth such outing of the season. Additionally, the rookie big man recorded a block and a steal for the 20th time across 55 regular-season matchups. Missi has logged double-digit rebounds in each of his last three appearances, though he has scored in double figures in only two of his last 10 games.

• Pelicans' Yves Missi: Pulls down career-high 15 boards

  Rotowire Feb 24, 2025

  Missi closed with six points (3-9 FG, 0-2 FT), 15 rebounds and one assist in 23 minutes during Sunday's 114-96 win over San Antonio. The 15 boards were a career high for the rookie center, marking the fourth time in the last nine games he's reached double digits in that category. None of those performances resulted in double-doubles, however, as Missi's offense remains a work in progress -- over those nine contests, he's averaging just 6.8 points while shooting 43.3 percent from the floor.

• Pelicans' Yves Missi: Swats four shots in return

  Rotowire Feb 22, 2025

  Missi (knee) recorded six points (3-8 FG), 10 rebounds, four blocks and one assist across 24 minutes in Friday's 111-103 loss to the Mavericks. After hyperextending his right knee in the Pelicans' final game before the All-Star break on Feb. 13 versus the Kings, Missi was forced to withdraw from taking part in the Rising Stars game at All-Star Weekend in San Francisco. The week-long break provided Missi with sufficient time to heal from the knee injury, and he was back in action Friday as New Orleans kicked off its second-half schedule. The rookie made his mark on the defensive end, recording at least four blocks for the fifth time in 53 games.
