SIXERS GET WING JALEN MCDANIELS (10.6 PPG/4.8 RPG) FOR THYBULLE!

By Peter Gleason

The Sixers have traded forward Matisse Thybulle to the Portland Trail Blazers in a three-team deal.

Thybulle, 25, was drafted No. 20 in 2019 by Boston and traded to Philadelphia that night.

After starting 50 games in 2021-22, Thybulle has played a career-low 12.1 minutes per game this season.

He is averaging 2.7 points and 1.3 rebounds per game for the 76ers in 2022-23.

Jalen McDaniels is coming to Philly from Charlotte, where he is averaging a career-high 10.6 points per game, and he has more shooting ability than his 32.2 three-point percentage this season would suggest.

The San Diego State alum shot 38.0 percent from behind the arc last season, and he’s making 84.6 percent of his free-throw attempts in 56 appearances this season.

McDaniels, 25, is an athletic wing who’s blossomed in his fourth NBA season, averaging a career-high in minutes (26.7), points (10.6) and steals (1.2)
