Yves Missi Questionable For Monday's Matchup With Sixers
New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi (hip) is listed as questionable for Monday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. Missi could miss his second straight game due to soreness in his right hip. The 20-year-old rookie could join seven teammates already sidelined for tonight's contest. Karlo Matkovic will likely get the nod to start at center for the second game in a row in place of Missi. On Sunday against the Pistons, Matkovic finished with eight points and 11 rebounds across 16 minutes.

But he'll sit this one out because of right hip soreness. Zion Williamson (back) is also ruled out. As a result, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Karlo Matkovic, combining for 11 points versus Minnesota, will likely see increased minutes. Bruce Brown and Jordan Hawkins should also stay involved, with both players potentially moving into the starting lineup.

Missi is one of three members of the Pelicans' frontcourt considered questionable as Zion Williamson (personal) and Kelly Olynyk (finger) are both iffy as well. If Missi is unable to suit up again, Olynyk should start if he's cleared, otherwise Karlo Matkovic could see some heavy minutes. In their last game against the San Antonio Spurs, Matkovic posted 12 points, 11 rebounds, and four turnovers across 27 minutes.

Bamba recently inked a 10-day deal with the Pelicans and made his team debut in Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers, collecting seven rebounds and one block in 15 minutes.

With Kelly Olynyk set to make his Pelicans debut, he becomes an instant streaming option if Missi has to be sidelined.
