Missi (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Missi has missed only three games for the Pelicans this season but could end up missing a fourth Thursday due to an ankle sprain. 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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

Missi limped back to the locker room with 2:59 remaining in the first quarter due to an apparent ankle injury, per the broadcast. However, the rookie big man has since returned following a brief exit, and he will likely be able to shoulder his normal workload the rest of the way.

EDGE Analysis

Missi limped back to the locker room with 2:59 remaining in the opening quarter. If the rookie big man is unable to return, Mo Bamba and Karlo Matkovic will likely see a bump in playing time the rest of the way.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Missi registered 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one block and one steal over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 109-103 win over the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.
