Available to play
Missi (foot/ankle) is available for Saturday's game in Brooklyn.
Analysis
Missi is back after a two-game stint on the sidelines, and he should see meaningful minutes Saturday with Zion Williamson (thigh) out. Missi's return could result in fewer minutes for Karlo Matkovic.

Questionable for Saturday
Missi (foot/ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Nets.
Analysis
Missi is in jeopardy of missing his third consecutive contest due to a right foot and ankle sprain. If the second-year center is ultimately ruled out, Karlo Matkovic and Kevon Looney are candidates for increased minutes behind Derik Queen.

Ruled out for Thursday
Missi (foot, ankle) won't play in Thursday's game against Minnesota.
Analysis
The 2024 first-rounder also had to sit out Tuesday's meeting with the Timberwolves with right foot and ankle soreness. His absence locks Derik Queen into big minutes Thursday, while Kevon Looney should sprinkle in as the backup center.

Downgraded to out
Missi is out for Tuesday's game against Minnesota due to right foot and ankle soreness.
Analysis
Missi's next opportunity to take the floor arrives during Thursday's meeting with the Timberwolves. Derik Queen should handle the lion's share of the center minutes Tuesday, with Kevon Looney likely to mix in off the bench a bit as the backup center.

Late addition to injury report
Missi (foot, ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Minnesota, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
The Pelicans have added Missi to the injury report late due to foot and ankle soreness. If the second-year big man is unable to suit up, Derik Queen would be in line to dominate the center minutes Tuesday.

Starting Sunday
Missi is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Lakers, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analysis
Missi will get the start with Zion Williamson (hamstring) unavailable, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Jeremiah Fears, Bryce McGowens, Saddiq Bey and Derik Queen. Over five starts this season, Missi has compiled averages of 7.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 blocks per game.
