New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi is out indefinitely due to a bone bruise in his left knee. Missi was injured during the second quarter of the Pelicans loss at the Utah Jazz on Friday.

The injury occurred when Missi suffered a hyperextension of his left knee when Zion Williams fell into his teammate. The Pelicans young center was then helped off the court without putting weight on his injured leg.

Missi won the starting center job with a strong finish to last season and a good preseason. The injury will open up additional minutes for Derik Queen, Karlo Matkovic and possibly veteran big man DeAndre Jordan.
