New Orleans Pelicans starting center Yves Missi injured his left knee in the second quarter of the team’s Oct. 23 game against the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City, according to the Associated Press.
What happened
With 6:30 remaining in the second quarter, Zion Williamson’s driving shot was blocked by Jaxson Hayes, and Williamson fell onto Missi’s leg. Missi immediately clutched his knee, writhed on the baseline and was helped off the court. He could not bear weight and was carried to the locker room, where he was ruled out for the remainder of the game and will be re‑evaluated on Saturday.
What was said
Pelicans coach Jamahl Mosley ran onto the court and received a technical foul while protesting the lack of a call after Utah’s Keyonte George hit a three‑pointer on the opposite end.
