Matisse Thybulle played 26 minutes in the Blazers 127-115 win over the Lakers, getting 14 points (5-of-9 FGs), six rebounds, two assists, one steal, three blocks, and four 3-pointers.
Viewed as a weak link offensively throughout his time with the Sixers, a return to the Pacific Northwest paid dividends for Thybulle in his Trail Blazers debut.
He shot 5-of-9 from the field, and the four 3-pointers are the most he’s made in a game this season and one shy of his career high.
Jerami Grant (concussion) not being available opened the door for Thybulle to start, and he took advantage of the opportunity.
