Yves Missi Questionable for Pelicans’ Game Against Clippers with Back Injury
Yves Missi is dealing with a back injury and is listed as questionable for the New Orleans Pelicans’ upcoming game against the Los Angeles Clippers on December 30th. The center has been uncertain to take the court after sustaining this injury recently. This adds to his previous ankle issue earlier in the month.
What It Means
If Yves Missi cannot play, it will impact the Pelicans’ lineup. He averages 9.3 points and 8.5 rebounds per game this season. His shooting percentage is at 55%, showing his efficiency on the court.
The team may need to rely more on Jeremiah Robinson-Earl or Daniel Theis if Missi is unavailable. Robinson-Earl averages 6.8 points, while Theis contributes 3.8 points per game. These players will need to step up in Missi’s absence.
