Yves Missi

Yves Missi (foot/ankle) won't play in Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Fantasy Impact

The big man is set to be sidelined for a second game on Thursday. He's recovering from a foot/ankle injury right now, and it's unclear when he will be back in the lineup for New Orleans. Look for Derik Queen to hold things down at the center position in his absence.

Yves Missi has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Fantasy Impact

Missi had been listed as questionable. His absence won't impact the Pelicans rotation for fantasy managers.

A late addition to the injury report places Yves Missi's availability in doubt for Tuesday's contest against Minnesota. The second-year center is dealing with soreness in both his foot and ankle.

Fantasy Impact

Should Missi be forced to the sidelines, the Pelicans would likely have to lean heavily on Derik Queen to handle the majority of the minutes at the center position.

Missi was ejected from Wednesday’s game against the Trail Blazers with 6:34 remaining in the second quarter. He and Jerami Grant became involved in an altercation along the baseline, and although no punches were thrown, both players were assessed ejections. Missi logged just two minutes prior to exiting, recording one blocked shot.

Fantasy Impact

Missi’s early departure should open additional minutes for Derik Queen in Indiana’s frontcourt rotation. Queen stands to benefit most from the available playing time created by Missi’s ejection.

Yves Missi is available for Monday's game against the Suns.

Fantasy Impact

Missi had been listed as questionable. He is set to return from a three-game absence.
