One bright spot, though, continues to shine: Yves Missi. The young big man delivered one of the most electric sequences of the Pelicans’ week. Against the Memphis Grizzlies in their NBA Cup matchup, Missi flashed elite two-way potential with a soaring block on Jaren Jackson Jr followed moments later by a powerful putback slam. The play encapsulated Missi’s <a href="https://x.com/ClutchPoints/status/1993861716892110983" rel="noopener">blend of athleticism, timing, and energy</a>. These traits have rapidly made him one of the Pelicans’ most intriguing contributors.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Yves Missi is making his presence felt on BOTH ends of the court 😤<a href="https://t.co/DQQxkO9YLZ">pic.twitter.com/DQQxkO9YLZ</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1993861716892110983?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 27, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Missi’s performance against the Grizzlies was another reminder of his developing impact on both ends of the floor. Missi’s ability to produce momentum-shifting plays has been invaluable for a Pelicans team struggling to find stability.</p><p>Through the opening stretch of the 2025-26 season, Missi has showcased steady growth and versatility. As of this writing, he is averaging 6.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game. He provides dependable interior production for head coach Willie Green. His athleticism and physicality have allowed him to match up well against opposing frontcourt players. Meanwhile, his improving instincts and timing continue to bolster the Pelicans’ defensive efforts. Highlight sequences like his block-to-dunk combo not reflect his confidence and th upward trajectory of his development.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-orleans-pelicans/pelicans-news-yves-missi-making-progress-while-taking-ownership-defense-rookie">Despite Missi’s rise</a>, the Pelicans continue to face significant challenges. With a 3-15 record, they sit near the bottom of the Western Conference.. Injuries, inconsistent play, and roster turnover have contributed to their early-season struggles. Still, the emergence of Missi offers a meaningful silver lining as the franchise leans into long-term growth. His two-way flashes are a reminder that even in a rebuilding year, foundational pieces can begin to take shape.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/inside-failed-lakers-hornets-trade-mark-williams">rescinding their trade for Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams</a>, who was recently traded to the Phoenix Suns this summer, executive Rob Pelinka and his front office have made it their top goal to add a rim-running big man who fits the same timeline as Luka Doncic.</p><p>As the Lakers have continued to scour, their search has led them to multiple names. Nic Claxton and Walker Kessler are the household, fan-favorite players many are linking to the team on social media, and both have been players Pelinka and his front office have discussed.</p><p>However, <a href="https://x.com/BrettSiegelNBA/status/1940207084580348378" rel="noopener">new names have emerged</a> in the Lakers’ search for frontcourt talent, specifically Phoenix Suns’ Nick Richards and New Orleans Pelicans’ Yves Missi, sources said.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/phoenix-suns/suns-news-josh-okogie-rick-richards-hornets-trade">Richards was acquired by the Suns</a> before the 2025 NBA trade deadline for three second-round picks and Josh Okogie. In 36 games with Phoenix after his trade from Charlotte, the 27-year-old center averaged 9.5 points and 8.6 rebounds per game while shooting over 60 percent from the floor.</p><p>The Suns recently <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/phoenix-suns/suns-news-why-khaman-maluach-fits-in-new-culture">drafted Khaman Maluach</a> with the 10th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft and traded for Williams, who Lakers fans know all too well. Phoenix is also high on Oso Ighodaro’s development and potential entering the 2025-26 season, which is why the team is willing to move Richards this offseason.</p><p>Los Angeles has been linked to Richards already this offseason by Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, who also reported that the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers are <a href="https://hoopshype.com/lists/nba-intel-free-agency-deandre-ayton-malik-beasley-myles-turner-nickeil-alexander-walker-trades/" rel="noopener">among several teams to inquire</a> about the athletic big man.</p><p>Missi is a very intriguing name to emerge as a trade target for the Lakers. The 21-year-old was recently named to the 2024-25 All-Rookie Second Team after averaging 9.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game in his first season with the Pelicans.</p><p>The 21st-overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft may be more obtainable than many would imagine, especially after New Orleans flipped their front office around in the offseason, replacing David Griffin with Joe Dumars.</p><p>Since Dumars took over, the Pelicans have been very aggressive in trade talks around the league, sources said. New Orleans has both fielded and made calls to teams to try and flip their roster around into one that can compete in the Western Conference immediately.</p><p>In addition to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-orleans-pelicans/pelicans-news-derik-queen-sends-warning-amid-nba-draft-criticism">trading up to select Derik Queen</a> in the lottery of this year’s draft, a player Dumars and the Pelicans’ brass are exceptionally high on, the team went out and signed veteran center Kevon Looney from the Golden State Warriors.</p><p>It doesn’t seem like the Pelicans are done making moves in their frontcourt just yet. Jose Alvarado and Jordan Hawkins have been two names floated around in trade rumors, with New Orleans wanting to add more size, sources said.</p><p>The Lakers have also <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/los-angeles-lakers/sources-lakers-running-into-a-familiar-problem-in-trade-talks">held trade conversations</a> with the Portland Trail Blazers regarding veteran center Robert Williams III. With the Blazers waiving Deandre Ayton, who is rumored to be <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/los-angeles-lakers/lakers-news-la-fans-already-recruiting-deandre-ayton-after-buyout">another player Los Angeles is gathering more information</a> on, it appears Williams’ price has decreased from where it stood before the trade deadline in February.</p><p>Williams is entering the final year of his contract and will make just $13.2 million during the 2025-26 season.</p><p>The Orlando Magic are another team the Lakers have contacted regarding Wendell Carter Jr. and Goga Bitadze, sources said. It is unknown at this time what the extent of these conversations was and whether the Magic are actively listening to offers for Carter, a valuable member of their frontcourt.</p><p>Between free agency and the trade market, Pelinka and the Lakers’ brass have remained busy trying to find an immediate upgrade in their frontcourt. Despite missing out on Brook Lopez, Myles Turner, and Clint Capela in free agency, Los Angeles remains extremely motivated to add an impactful center this offseason.</p><p><i>(ClutchPoints’ Lakers insider Anthony Irwin also contributed to this report).</i></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The 76ers lost to the very short-handed New Orleans Pelicans, 123-115. But if they want to find anything positive about the game, it was the thunderous dunk that Kelly Oubre Jr. threw down over Yves Missi.</p><p>There may have been cause for concern from the 76ers though as Kelly Oubre took a hard fall after his dunk over Yves Missi. But there was no word after the game in terms of any potential injury. And after the initial play, Oubre even grinned a bit as he got up from the fall. It appears as if the 76ers avoided a potential catastrophe.</p><p>But the 76ers still should be concerned about their play on the court.</p><p>Kelly Oubre did his part in terms of trying to get the 76ers the win. He finished with 21 points, seven rebounds, one assist and two steals. He shot 7-of-18 from the field, 2-of-5 from the three-point line and 4-of-5 from the free-throw line.</p><p>This season, Oubre has appeared in 32 games for the 76ers, including 29 starts, at a little over 32 minutes per game. He’s been averaging 13.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.4 steals with splits of 45.9 percent shooting from the field, 28.1 percent shooting from the three-point line and 72.8 percent shooting from the free-throw line.</p><p>Oubre is in his second season with the 76ers after joining the team during the 2023 offseason when he signed a one-year contract. When he hit free agency this past offseason, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/76ers-news-kelly-oubre-jr-16-3-million-contract-free-agency">Oubre re-signed with the 76ers</a> on a two-year contract worth a little over $16 million. He has the option to re-enter free agency this coming offseason as he has a player option for the 2025-26 season.</p><p>The 76ers are currently 15-21 and in 11th place in the Eastern Conference standings. They are 6-4 in their last ten games.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Since <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grizzlies-news-zach-edey-taylor-jenkins-defense-priority-rookie-boost-starting-lineup">Edey was added to the Grizzlies starting lineup</a>, Memphis has continued to climb up the Western Conference standings. And now it’s led to its rookie center reaching the top of the best betting odds for ROTY.</p><p>Edey is leading Missi, as the top rookie centers have the <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/nba?tab=season-awards" rel="noopener">best odds</a> of winning the first-year honor, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.</p><p>Edey has +120 odds, leading Missi, who is second with +400 for the best odds. The top rookie centers lead San Antonio Spurs’ rookie Stephon Castle (+600) and Edey’s teammate, Grizzlies guard Jaylen Wells (+900).</p><p>Edey recorded his fourth double-double (21 points, 16 rebounds) in a 155-126 win against the Toronto Raptors, followed by 14 points and nine rebounds in a 132-124 win against Missi and the Pelicans. Zach finished with a pair of blocks in both games as the Grizzlies have won four of their last five games.</p><p>The Grizzlies improved to 22-11. The Grizzlies’ current stretch led to Memphis leapfrogging the Houston Rockets for the second-best record in the Western Conference, trailing the Oklahoma City Thunder (26-5) by 5.0 games for the top spot.</p><h2><b>Zach Edey’s glowing review before ROTY clash vs. Yves Missi</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Grizzlies-rookie-center-Zach-Edey.jpg"><figcaption>Matthew Hinton-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>It didn’t take long for Memphis Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins to turn rookie center Zach Edey into a starter before facing New Orleans Pelicans rookie Yves Missi. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grizzlies-news-zach-edey-glowing-starting-role-review-nba-rookie-of-the-year-clash-yves-missi-pelicans">Jenkins sang Edey’s praises before facing Missi</a> following the Grizzlies’ historic 29-point win over the Toronto Raptors.</p><p>For Jenkins and the Grizzlies, it was their second 30-plus-point win at home this season. Jenkins shared how much Edey has <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sC43LXIz4Cw" rel="noopener">impressed</a> him thus far.</p><p>“Zach was a force [in the win over the Raptors],” Jenkins said. “His rebounding was phenomenal, had a couple of blocked shots but just deterring shots in the paint, deterring drives in the paint. I thought he was pretty grounded on the offensive side with his finishes. He was able to get in better positions, and his spacing on the offensive side was really good.</p><p>“Overall, he was huge when we went on a couple of runs. Transition opportunities come from his blocked shots or him limiting them to just one shot. His presence was huge for us on both ends.”</p><p>Edey is averaging 11.3 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, and 0.8 steals amidst his rookie campaign with the Grizzlies, who will face the Suns on Tuesday night.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
