New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Despite dealing with a sprained right ankle, Missi has been upgraded from questionable to available. The rookie center is coming off an impressive performance against Atlanta, where he logged 35 minutes, scoring 23 points and grabbing 12 rebounds. Missi has recorded a double-double in three of his last five games, and fantasy managers will be hoping for a similar level of production on Thursday.
New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi (shoulder) will return to the lineup on Monday against Indiana. A shoulder problem kept Missi out from Friday's 112-108 loss to Golden State, and he was initially considered questionable for Monday's game. After starting each of his previous 11 outings, Missi will come off the bench versus the Pacers. Daniel Theis will make a second consecutive start. This is a tough matchup for the Pelicans centers, as only nine teams have allowed fewer fantasy points to opposing fives than the Pacers this season.
New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi (shoulder) has been labeled as questionable for Monday's matchup against Indiana. He dropped out of the lineup on Friday versus Golden State due to a sore left shoulder and might now miss another contest. Daniel Theis jumped into the starting lineup as Missi's replacement, but he has mostly been out of the rotation recently and did very little Friday night. With Zion Williamson (hamstring) also out of commission, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl has become a significant piece in the frontcourt rotation and should continue to play an important role on Monday if Missi remains out.
New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi (shoulder) will sit out Friday's game against Golden State. He has been ruled out for the contest after carrying a questionable tag on the initial injury report. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Trey Jemison are set to benefit from Missi's absence. Robinson-Earl looks like the better fantasy option of the two, although he's not been overly productive with his minutes. In this season's first two meetings with the Warriors, New Orleans went with Daniel Theis as the starting center, but he's been out of the rotation in recent weeks.
New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Although Missi was cleared to play in Wednesday's loss to the Cavaliers, he continues to deal with lingering soreness in his left shoulder, which may prevent him from participating in Friday's matchup. In his previous game, he scored 12 points and grabbed eight rebounds. The 20-year-old rookie has been a key contributor this season, averaging 7.0 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks in 23.2 minutes per game. If he is unavailable, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Trey Jemison could see more minutes in his place.
New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi (hip) is likely to play in Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers, according to head coach Willie Green. The 20-year-old was listed as questionable with a right lower abdominal contusion earlier in the day but is expected to be cleared to play and will likely continue to see impactful minutes as the backup to Daniel Theis. In his appearances this season, Missi has averaged 6.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks, providing solid support in the frontcourt.
New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi (abdomen) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. It sounds like the rookie center is dealing with a right lower abdominal contusion, which means it wouldn't be shocking if he sits out. Fellow big man Daniel Theis (ankle) is also listed as questionable for Friday's game. Whichever of them is active would see a bigger role otherwise the Pelicans could see forced to use a small-ball rotation on Friday.
