Yves Missi News: Double-doubles in loss

Missi racked up 10 points (5-8 FG), 10 rebounds and two blocks across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 130-128 preseason loss to the Rockets.

Missi didn't start either of the Pelicans' exhibitions against Melbourne, but he was part of the first five for their first preseason contest. He led the team in blocks and notched a double-double Tuesday, which he often did as a rookie. Missi should be the starting center against Memphis on Opening Night, but veteran Kevon Looney was brought in this offseason to stabilize the position.
