Yves Missi Expected to Miss Time With Knee Bruise

Pelicans center Yves Missi has a left knee bone bruise after hyperextending his knee during Friday’s loss to the Utah Jazz, and an MRI confirmed the injury. He has no timetable to return and is expected to miss time. Missi recorded 19 points, 15 rebounds, three steals and four blocks in 40 minutes over New Orleans’ first two games. Derik Queen could see increased playing time, potentially as a starter, while Missi is sidelined; New Orleans is 0-2 to open the season.
