Missi Enters Starting Lineup for Pelicans Against Lakers

Yves Missi will start for the New Orleans Pelicans in Sunday's game against the Lakers, as reported by Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times. He steps into the starting five due to Zion Williamson's hamstring injury, joining Jeremiah Fears, Bryce McGowens, Saddiq Bey, and Derik Queen. In his five previous starts this season, Missi has averaged 7.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.0 blocks per game.
