  • Pelicans' Yves Missi: Won't play in Rising Stars game

    The Pelicans announced Friday that Missi has been diagnosed with a right knee hyperextension, but an MRI taken Thursday night showed no structural damage. The rookie big man will not compete in the Rising Stars game at the 2025 NBA All-Star Weekend and will be re-evaluated in one week.

    Missi suffered his injury during Thursday's game versus the Kings but appears to have avoided a long-term issue. Bulls forward Matas Buzelis will replace him in the Rising Stars game Friday. Missi is expected to be re-evaluated ahead of New Orleans' matchup with Dallas on Feb. 21.

  • Pelicans' Javonte Green: Displays two-way play in start

    Green finished with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and five steals over 34 minutes during Thursday's 140-133 overtime win over the Kings.

    Green got a starting nod Thursday due to the absence of Zion Williamson (rest), making the most of that extended time on the court by putting forth a two-way showcase that including leading the team in steals and finishing second among Pelicans players in rebounds. Green set a new season high in steals, previously holding a season-best mark of four dimes, which he has accomplished twice. He also matched a season high in rebounds, a total he has recorded in five appearances.

  • Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Flirts with double-double in loss

    Alvarado notched 18 points (7-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 119-111 loss to the Kings.

    Alvarado fell one assist short of his first double-double of the season, turning in a strong two-way performance. He continues to play a sizeable role for the banged-up Pelicans, starting the past three games. Although his minutes are somewhat inconsistent, it appears as though he is going to feature prominently down the stretch.

  • Pelicans' Antonio Reeves: Sticks in rotation Wednesday

    Reeves ended Wednesday's 119-111 loss to Sacramento with eight points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 18 minutes.

    Reeves remained in the rotation, playing at least 15 minutes for the third straight game. After barely playing to begin his career, it appears as though the Pelicans have decided to at least give him an opportunity to experience the NBA up close. Having now lost 10 straight games, it makes sense for them to lean into their youth.

  • Pelicans' Bruce Brown: Quiet in Pelicans debut

    Brown contributed four points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 119-111 loss to the Kings.

    Brown suited up for his new team for the first time, logging 26 minutes off the bench. Although his production left a lot to be desired, Brown could certainly carve out a meaningful role for himself on a team looking for production. Keep an eye on the rotation moving forward just in case Brown can cobble together a strong finish to what has been a disappointing season.
