Oct 31, 2025
To miss at least four weeks
Thybulle underwent surgery Friday to repair torn UCL in his left thumb and will miss 4-6 weeks.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle sustained the thumb injury after logging just five minutes in Wednesday's win over the Jazz and will now miss an extended period. With the 28-year-old forward sidelined, Kris Murray and Rayan Rupert are candidates for increased playing time. Over four regular-season appearances, Thybulle has averaged 5.0 points and 2.5 steals in 12.3 minutes per contest.
Oct 30, 2025
Won't play Friday
Thybulle (thumb) will not suit up for Friday's game against the Nuggets.

Oct 29, 2025
Won't return Wednesday
Thybulle has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Jazz due to a left thumb injury.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle was initially listed on the injury report with a hip injury, but it appears he picked up a thumb injury during Wednesday's tilt. He'll finish the contest with thre points (1-1 3Pt), one assist, two steals in five minutes. Look for Rayan Rupert and Caleb Love to see more action with Thybulle sidelined. His next chance to play will come Friday against Denver.
Oct 29, 2025
Available to play Wednesday
Thybulle (hip) will be available to play Wednesday against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle is returning from a rest day, so he should be slated for minutes in the teens, working in Portland's second unit. Despite the minimal minutes, Thybulle is averaging 2.7 steals per game this season, so he's on the radar in deep leagues.
Oct 28, 2025
Iffy for Wednesday
Thybulle (hip) is questionable to play in Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
After missing Monday's game against the Lakers due to a hip issue, Thybulle is in danger of missing a second straight game. The team has been taking a cautious approach with the defensive-minded forward, who missed all but 15 games during the 2024-25 campaign.
Oct 27, 2025
Ruled out for Monday
Thybulle (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Lakers, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
It's the second leg of a back-to-back set, so the Trail Blazers will give Thybulle the night off, but he should be back for Wednesday's game in Utah. Kris Murray and Blake Wesley figure to absord most of Thybulle's minutes Monday.
Oct 27, 2025
Iffy for Monday
Thybulle (hip) is questionable for Monday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle is day-to-day with right hip soreness. He's had a very minor role to open the season, posting averages of 5.7 points and 1.3 rebounds in 14.7 minutes per contest.
Oct 21, 2025
Off injury report
Thybulle (knee) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
After playing all but 15 games during the 2024-25 campaign, Thybulle will be on the floor to start the regular season. He brings another dynamic to his squad, with an ability to make an impact on both ends of the floor.
Oct 20, 2025
Full-contact practice session
Thybulle (knee) was a full participant in practice Monday, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle was held out of preseason action due to a knee issue, but he's gearing up ahead of the season. The oft-injured forward can be tentatively considered questionable for Wednesday's season opener against the Timberwolves.
Oct 16, 2025
Remaining sidelined Thursday
Thybulle (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle won't see any action during the preseason due to a lingering right knee injury. He'll have just under a week to get ready for the 2025-26 regular-season opener Wednesday against the Timberwolves.
Oct 14, 2025
Won't play Tuesday
Thybulle (knee) will remain on the sidelines for Tuesday's exhibition game against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle has yet to appear for the Trail Blazers this preseason, but maybe he will get out there for Portland's preseason finale in Utah on Thursday. Kris Murray and Toumani Camara should continue to get some extended run with Thybulle watching from the sidelines.
Oct 10, 2025
Won't play Friday
Thybulle (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's exhibition against the Kings, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
ANALYSIS
This will be the second straight game on the sidelines for Thybulle due to the knee issue, and his next chance to play will come Tuesday versus the Warriors. Toumani Camara and Kris Murray will pick up the slack in his absence.
Oct 8, 2025
Won't play Wednesday
Thybulle has been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason game against Golden State due to right knee soreness.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle will miss the Trail Blazers' preseason opener Wednesday with a right knee injury. The 6-foot-5 wing missed all but 15 regular-season games last season due to ankle and knee injuries. He had a procedure to address inflammation in his right knee in October 2024, then suffered a sprained ankle while ramping up his recovery. His next chance to play will come Friday against Sacramento. Kris Murray, Rayan Rupert and Sidy Cissoko could see more minutes Wednesday.
Jun 24, 2025
Exercises player option
Thybulle opted into his $11.5 million player option for the 2025-26 season Tuesday, according to NBA reporter Chris Haynes.
ANALYSIS
This was always the most likely scenario for Thybulle as he looks to rebuild his market value -- knee and ankle injuries limited him to 15 regular-season games in 2024-25. He fared well in those games, however, posting averages of 7.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.6 blocks and 2.2 steals in 20.8 minutes per contest while shooting 43.8 percent from beyond the arc.
Apr 14, 2025
Consistent two-way impact in April
Thybulle closed Sunday's 109-81 win over the Lakers with 15 points (5-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-7 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 29 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The veteran swingman missed the bulk of the season due to offseason knee surgery and an ankle sprain while ramping up in October, but he played a meaningful role for the Trail Blazers during April. Over seven games this month, Thybulle averaged 9.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.6 three-pointers in 27.3 minutes. It remains to be seen if Thybulle will exercise his player option for 2025-26, but he's proven to be a excellent source of swipes and triples in fantasy leagues when he's able to play substantial minutes.
Apr 4, 2025
Starting sans Camara
Thybulle will start in Friday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
The defensive-minded swingman is slated to make his first start of the season Friday due to Toumani Camara (ankle) being sidelined. Thybulle has appeared in 10 straight outings after missing the first 67 games of the season due to an ankle injury. He's averaging 6.1 points, 3.1 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.6 assists across 17.4 minutes per contest.
Apr 2, 2025
Records five steals
Thybulle ended with eight points (4-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and five steals across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 127-113 victory over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
High steal totals are nothing new for Thybulle -- throughout his career, he's had 12 games in which he's recorded at least five steals. He's fared well since returning from his injury, posting averages of 6.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.1 three-pointers and 2.3 steals in 16.7 minutes across nine outings.
Mar 26, 2025
Scores 15 points in limited run
Thybulle notched 15 points (5-6 FG, 5-6 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 15 minutes during Tuesday's 122-111 loss to Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Despite seeing just 15 minutes, Thybulle caught fire from beyond the arc and made the most of his limited run, matching his career-high mark (5) in the process. In six appearances with Portland, Thybulle has looked solid with 7.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.5 blocks, 2.0 steals and 1.5 three-pointers in 15.1 minutes.
Mar 18, 2025
Records five steals
Thybulle had nine points (4-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, one block and five steals in 22 minutes during Monday's 112-97 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Making just his second appearance of the season, Thybulle made plenty of waves on the defensive end with his 11th career game with at least five steals. Toumani Camara (calf), Jerami Grant (knee) and Jabari Walker (concussion) were all sidelined Monday, making Thybulle a potential streamer in the short term until the Trail Blazers get some reinforcements.
Mar 17, 2025
Makes season debut
Thybulle (ankle) recorded two rebounds, two steals and one block in six minutes Sunday in the Trail Blazers' 105-102 win over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle took the court for the first time all season after having initially been sidelined in October, when he underwent a procedure to address inflammation in his right knee. While ramping up in late November, Thybulle then suffered a Grade 2 right ankle sprain, which further delayed his return to the court. The veteran wing was finally cleared to play ahead of last Wednesday's 114-113 loss to the Knicks, and though he didn't appear in that contest, head coach Chauncey Billups carved out a small role in the rotation for Thybulle on Sunday. Even in limited run, Thybulle was able to make an impact on the defensive end, but he'll need to see his minutes increase dramatically before he can be used as a streaming option for steals or blocks with any confidence.
Mar 14, 2025
Practices Friday
Thybulle (ankle) participated in Friday's practice, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
ANALYSIS
Billups relayed that Thybulle wasn't restricted and looked good during practice. The defensive-minded swingman has yet to make an appearance this season due to a right ankle sprain, though he was available to play during Wednesday's loss to the Knicks. Thybulle's next chance to make his season debut will come Sunday against the Raptors.
Mar 12, 2025
Will make season debut
Thybulle (ankle) has been cleared to play Wednesday against the Knicks, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle will be available for the Trail Blazers for the first time this season after missing the first 66 games of the 2024-25 campaign. However, he might not play against New York, with head coach Chauncey Billups letting it be known he hasn't seen the veteran forward practice yet, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
Mar 12, 2025
Expected to make debut Wednesday
Thybulle (ankle), who is officially listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, is expected to be available to make his season debut, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle is on track to take the court for the first time since March 29, 2024, after a right ankle impingement caused him to miss Portland's final eight games of last season before he underwent a procedure in October to address inflammation in his right knee. The defensive-minded forward had been expected to resume playing by late November, but he suffered a Grade 2 right ankle sprain during the ramp-up process that further delayed his return. After getting in some practice time in the G League earlier this week, Thybulle seems to have finally moved past the ankle issue. Assuming he's formally cleared ahead of Wednesday's 10 p.m. ET tipoff, Thybulle will likely be in line for only a minor role in the Portland rotation.
Mar 11, 2025
Could return against New York
Thybulle (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle has yet to make his season debut due to a right ankle injury but has recently been rehabbing in the G League. If Thybulle is upgraded to available against the Knicks, he will likely operate on a heavy minutes restriction.
Mar 10, 2025
Assigned to G League

Mar 3, 2025
Remains out Monday

ANALYSIS
Thybulle is still waiting to make his season debut, though he appears to be getting close to playing again after head coach Chauncey Billups said Feb. 21 that the veteran forward had resumed taking part in light 3-on-3 work on the court. Once he's formally cleared to suit up, Thybulle will likely be in store for only a minor role in the rotation.
Feb 21, 2025
Progressing to 3-on-3 drills
Head coach Chauncey Billups said Friday that Thybulle (ankle) has started doing some light 3-on-3 work, though he hasn't been cleared for any 5-on-5 action yet, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle has yet to make his season debut due to a right ankle injury, and coach Billups relayed that there is no clear timetable for his return, per Highkin.

Apr 10, 2024
Ruled out for Thursday
Thybulle (ankle) won't play Thursday against the Warriors.

Apr 8, 2024
Out vs. New Orleans
Thybulle (ankle) won't play Tuesday against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS

Thybulle (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle being ruled out more than 24 hours in advance of Wednesday's contest after re-aggravating his right ankle in Friday's return to action is notable.

Mar 31, 2024
Out Monday
Thybulle (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Magic.

Cleared to play vs. Miami
Thybulle (ankle) is available for Friday's game against Miami, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle was questionable for Friday's matchup, and he'll return to action following a five-game absence due to an ankle injury. He's averaged 7.4 points and 3.3 rebounds in 22.4 minutes per game over nine appearances this month, but it's unclear whether he'll face any restrictions Friday.
Mar 28, 2024
Questionable for Friday
Thybulle (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Heat.
ANALYSIS

ANALYSIS
Thybulle has been deemed questionable before being ruled out due to a right ankle injury in each of Portland's last four contests. If Thybulle's absence continues, Kris Murray, Ryan Rupert and Toumani Camara should keep receiving extended playing time.
Mar 25, 2024

ANALYSIS
Thybulle will miss his fourth consecutive matchup while recovering from a right ankle injury. His next chance to suit up will arrive Wednesday against the Hawks.

Will not play Saturday
Thybulle (ankle) will not play in Saturday's game against the Nuggets, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle's absence will mark his third straight and fourth in his last five games. As a result, Kris Murray, Dalano Banton and Rayan Rupert are candidates to see a slight increase in minutes.
Mar 23, 2024
Considered questionable
Thybulle (ankle) has been given a questionable designation ahead of Saturday's game versus Denver.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle is in danger of missing his third straight game and fourth in his last five. More clarity on his final status should come after he tests out his ankle during pregame warmups. If the defensive stud ultimately cannot go, Kris Murray, Dalano Banton and Rayan Rupert are candidates to see a slight increase of minutes.
Mar 22, 2024
Won't go vs. LA
Thybulle (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle will miss his second straight game while tending to a right ankle sprain. His next opportunity to run the floor will arrive Saturday against the Nuggets.
Mar 21, 2024
Questionable to play Friday
Thybulle (ankle) is questionable to play Friday against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle seems to be in line to miss a second consecutive game, but his fantasy absence shouldn't matter much, as he doesn't see regular minutes even when healthy. His potential absence should leave more opportunities for Kris Murray, Dalano Banton and Rayan Rupert.
Mar 20, 2024
Won't go Wednesday
Thybulle (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle has been dealing with a right ankle sprain as of late, aggravating the injury during Monday's game. He'll also end up missing Wednesday's tilt, which should leave more opportunities for Kris Murray, Dalano Banton and Rayan Rupert. Thybulle's next chance to play will come Friday for the first end of a back-to-back set.
Mar 19, 2024
Iffy for Wednesday
Thybulle (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle aggravated his troublesome right ankle during Monday's game against the Bulls, but he's considered day-to-day. If he's unable to suit up against the Clippers, there could be more minutes available for Toumani Camara, Dalano Banton and Kris Murray.
Mar 18, 2024
Aggravates right ankle
Thybulle has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game against the Bulls after exiting in the second quarter with a right ankle injury. He posted zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and no other statistics in five minutes.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle had missed the Trail Blazers' previous game Saturday versus the Pelicans due to a right ankle sprain, so he seemingly aggravated the injury in his return to action. Given the recurring nature of the injury as well as the Trail Blazers' status as a non-contender at this stage of the season, Thybulle could be headed for another absence Wednesday versus the Clippers.
Mar 18, 2024
Gets green light for Monday
Thybulle (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle has been upgraded from questionable to available and will snap a two-game absence. Despite not being a strong scorer, Thybulle continues to make a fantasy impact in category leagues due to his defensive prowess. Over his last 16 appearances, Thybulle has averaged 2.6 steals and 0.8 blocks per game.
Mar 17, 2024
Questionable for Monday
Thybulle (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle may miss a second straight game due to right ankle soreness. While he's not a prolific scorer by any means, Thybulle has made a fantasy impact, especially in category leagues, averaging 2.6 steals and 0.8 blocks per game over his last 16 appearances.
Mar 16, 2024
Won't play Saturday
Thybulle is out for Saturday's game versus the Pelicans due to right ankle soreness, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle apparently suffered the injury Thursday. His absence means Toumani Camara will be in line for a bigger role. Thybulle's next chance to play will come against the Bulls on Monday.
Mar 15, 2024
Questionable for Saturday
Thybulle is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Pelicans due to right ankle soreness.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle presumably suffered his ankle injury during Thursday's matchup with the Knicks. If Thybulle is ruled out Saturday, Toumani Camara will likely receive increased playing time.
Mar 7, 2024
Season-high 16 points in return
Thybulle totaled 16 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists and three steals in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 128-120 loss to Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle came off the bench and logged his highest scoring production of the season in the loss. Although Thybulle has made several starts amid the rash of injuries on the roster, he's done little with the opportunities given and rarely scores in double-digits. He's logged double-digit scoring totals in just nine games this season, and is destined for fewer chances to perform once Scoot Henderson and Malcolm Brogdon return to action.
Mar 6, 2024
Available to play Wednesday
Thybulle (hip) will be available to play Wednesday against the Thunder, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle is back after a one-game absence, which may result in fewer minutes for Dalano Banton and Rayan Rupert. Thybulle is someone to consider as a streamer for managers seeking some steals.
Mar 5, 2024
Listed as questionable
Thybulle (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle missed his first game since Jan. 14 on Monday against Minnesota, but he remains day-to-day. Toumani Camara (illness) and Jerami Grant (quadriceps) are also questionable, so Kris Murray could be called upon to soak up a ton of minutes again.
Mar 4, 2024
Ruled out Monday
Thybulle (hip) is out for Monday's game against Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle will be sidelined for his third contest of the season, being unable to suit up Monday due to left hip soreness. His next opportunity to take the court comes Wednesday versus Oklahoma City.
Mar 3, 2024
Dealing with hip soreness
Thybulle is questionable for Monday's game against the Timberwolves due to left hip soreness.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle is in danger of missing his first game since Jan. 14. With Jerami Grant (quadriceps) doubtful, Portland's wing depth may be tested if both forwards are downgraded to out.
Feb 15, 2024
Bounced from starting five
Thybulle isn't starting Thursday's game against the Timberwolves, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle has started his team's last four matchups, but he'll come off the bench Thursday with Scoot Henderson returning to the starting lineup. Thybulle is averaging 4.8 points and 1.8 rebounds in his last four appearances as a reserve.
Feb 4, 2024
Will start Sunday
Thybulle will enter the starting lineup Sunday against the Nuggets, Adam Mares of DenverStiffs.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle will make his 16th start of the season Sunday with Jerami Grant (back) out of the lineup. In his last three starts, Thybulle has averaged 4.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.7 steals in 28.0 minutes per game, so he remains a desperation play in most fantasy formats.
Jan 26, 2024
Will start Friday
Thybulle will start Friday's game against the Spurs, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Malcolm Brogdon (knee) will not play Friday, but he's considered day-to-day. In addition to Thybulle, it's likely that Scoot Henderson picks up some minutes Friday. As a starter this season, Thybulle holds averages of 6.2 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.5 three-pointers.
Jan 19, 2024
Will start Friday
Thybulle is set to start at shooting guard in Friday's game against the Pacers, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Thubulle will replace Anfernee Simons (illness) in the starting lineup. The defesive-minded wing has averaged 6.4 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.9 assists across 22.2 minutes per game in 13 starts this season.
Jan 18, 2024
Not on injury report for Friday
Thybulle (ankle) is not in the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Pacers, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle should be available to face Indiana, but his fantasy upside is not going to be very high as a defensive-minded player who doesn't contribute much on the offensive side of the ball aside from an occasional double-digit scoring game. Thybulle is averaging 4.0 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 19.9 minutes per game since the start of January.
Jan 18, 2024
Sprains ankle, won't return
Thybulle has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Nets. He'll finish with three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and three assists during 21 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle operated as one of the Blazers' top options off the bench but only mustered up three points while committing three fouls. Although the game is deep into the fourth quarter, Toumani Camara and Kris Murray are candidates to pick up minutes. Thybulle's next chance to play will come Friday against the Pacers.
Jan 16, 2024
Good to go Wednesday
Thybulle (illness) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle will return to action Wednesday after missing Portland's previous contest with a non-COVID illness. Thybulle is averaging 3.8 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 16.4 minutes across his last five appearances.
Jan 14, 2024
Out sick
Thybulle is out for Sunday's game against the Suns due to an illness, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness that will hold him out of Sunday's game. The 26-year-old pro will have an opportunity to return to action Wednesday against the Nets.
Jan 9, 2024
Set to play Tuesday
Thybulle (foot) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle will return to action Tuesday after missing Portland's previous contest with a right foot sprain. Thybulle is averaging 5.2 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks in 24.2 minutes across his last five appearances.
Jan 8, 2024
Questionable Tuesday
Thybulle (foot) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle missed his first game of the season Sunday, and it appears he may be in danger of missing another contest Tuesday. If he's sidelined, Toumani Camara, Shaedon Sharpe and Kris Murray could see extended minutes again.
Jan 7, 2024
Downgraded to out
Thybulle (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Brooklyn, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle has been downgraded from questionable to out and will miss his first game of the season. Deandre Ayton (knee), Moses Brown (wrist) and Jabari Walker (knee) are also out, so Portland's frontcourt will be shorthanded, meaning Kris Murray, Ibou Badji and Rayan Rupert may play significant minutes off the bench.
Jan 6, 2024
Carrying questionable tag
Thybulle (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle left Friday's game against the Mavericks early and was diagnosed with a sprain. Fortunately for Portland, he's considered day-to-day. With Jabari Walker (knee) also questionable, the Blazers may need to rely heavily on Toumani Camara and Kris Murray.
Jan 5, 2024
Will not return
Thybulle will not return to Friday's game against Dallas due to a right foot sprain. He finished scoreless with two rebounds, one steal and one block in 14 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The Trail Blazers were getting run out of the building when Thybulle left the game for good, so the lopsided score could've factored into the decision. For now, Thybulle should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against Brooklyn. If he's unavailable to play, there could be more minutes for Toumani Camara and Kris Murray.
Jan 4, 2024
Drops four triples Wednesday
Thybulle ended with 12 points (4-6 FG, 4-6 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 126-97 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle moved back to the bench, yet played more than a number of the starters. This was an ugly game, resulting in the Trail Blazers trotting out several strange lineups. Even when starting, Thybulle cannot be trusted as a consistent fantasy asset. At best, he should be viewed as a defensive specialist who can be streamed in, if and when the time arises.
Jan 3, 2024
Heads back to bench
Thybulle isn't in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Mavericks, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle will be replaced by Toumani Camara in the starting lineup Wednesday. Thybulle is averaging 4.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.4 blocks in 25.4 minutes across his last five bench appearances.
Jan 1, 2024
Starting Monday
Thybulle is in the starting lineup Monday against Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle starts in place of Toumani Camara (knee) on Monday, although Thybulle is averaging just 21.6 minutes across 12 starts this season. His defensive specialist role typically tops out at 25-30 minutes, even when he's playing with the first unit.
Dec 27, 2023
Brings defense in win
Thybulle finished with six points (2-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks across 26 minutes in Tuesday's 130-113 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Even though he hasn't started in any of the last six games while the Trail Blazers have reclaimed health on the wing, Thybulle has still been delivering in the defensive categories as a bench player. During that six-game stretch, he's averaging a whopping 2.3 steals and 1.5 blocks in just 21.7 minutes per contest. Due to his offensive limitations, Thybulle's fantasy value is unlikely to take another jump forward, but he could earn a slight uptick in playing time if starting small forward Toumani Camara loses the trust of the coaching staff.
Dec 16, 2023
Back to bench
Thybulle will move to the bench for Saturday's game against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
No surprises here, as Jerami Grant will be returning from the concussion protocol. Thybulle is coming off a dud against the Jazz on Thursday, as he was held to three points in 17 minutes while shooting 1-of-5 from the field.
Dec 8, 2023
Moves into starting lineup
Thybulle will move into the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Mavericks, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Malcolm Brogdon is sitting out with knee soreness, so Portland will move Anfernee Simons to point guard to open a spot on the wings for Thybulle. In nine starts this season, Thybulle holds averages of 6.3 points, 1.2 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.4 three-pointers.
Nov 28, 2023
Fails to score in win
Thybulle produced zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Monday's 114-110 win over Indiana.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle missed both of his shot attempts, failing to score despite playing 29 minutes. While he did manage to add two combined steals and blocks, this has to be chalked up as another underwhelming night. As has been the case for the past few years, Thybulle should be viewed as nothing more than a defensive stream option.
Nov 23, 2023
Scores in double figures
Thybulle ended with 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound, two assists, two blocks and three steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 121-105 victory over Utah.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle came off the bench for a sixth consecutive game Wednesday, and he's had inconsistent production since reverting to a reserve role. However, he scored in double figures during Wednesday's matchup, just the second time he's done so while coming off the bench. Over his last six appearances, Thybulle has averaged 6.5 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 24.2 minutes per game.
Nov 16, 2023
Notches three steals
Thybulle closed with 13 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 109-95 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle was on the bench for a second consecutive game Wednesday, but he still managed to score in double figures for the third time in his last four appearances. He also recorded multiple steals for the second time this season. The 26-year-old has played at least 20 minutes in four consecutive matchups, averaging 11.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.0 steals in 25.5 minutes per game.
Nov 14, 2023
Moves to bench
Thybulle will move to the bench for Tuesday's game against the Jazz, according to Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site.
ANALYSIS
Toumani Camara will replace Thybulle in the first unit Tuesday, but it remains to be seen if this is a permanent switch. Thybulle is coming off arguably his best game of the season Sunday, as he produced 14 points with three assists, two rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 20 minutes against the Lakers.
Nov 13, 2023
Notches 14 points
Thybulle registered 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 20 minutes during Sunday's 116-110 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
This was Thybulle's best scoring mark of the season despite the low minutes. Thybulle's appeal in fantasy basketball is largely due to his defensive abilities, but his steal rate has been much lower than previous years so far.
Nov 9, 2023
Scores in double figures
Thybulle finished Wednesday's 121-118 overtime loss to Sacramento with 13 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, one assist and four steals across 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle saw a considerable uptick in minutes Wednesday with the Trail Blazers dealing with multiple absences. The 26-year-old responded with his first double-digit scoring total of the season while also leading the team in steals. While Thybulle has served exclusively as a starter this year, he hasn't been consistent enough to be reliable in season-long formats at this point.
Nov 2, 2023
Scoreless in victory
Thybulle ended with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 17 minutes during Wednesday's 110-101 victory over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle failed to record a single point for the second time in five games this season. The 26-year-old forward is shooting just 38.9 percent from the field. So far in 2023-24, Thybulle's 0.6 steals and 0.2 blocks per game have not been enough to compensate for his shooting woes.
Oct 25, 2023
Confirmed starter
Thybulle will start Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
While Thybulle was expected to start at small forward to open the season, his place in the first unit had yet to be confirmed. While Thybulle doesn't possess much offensive utility, he's an elite source of steals and blocks, making him a valuable asset in category formats.
Oct 23, 2023
Likely beginning year as starter
Thybulle will likely be part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Clippers, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle was somewhat inconsistent for the Trail Blazers during preseason play, but coach Chauncey Billups said Monday that he's "pretty set" on starting Thybulle over Shaedon Sharpe once the regular season begins Wednesday. Thybulle started in all 22 of his appearances with Portland last year and averaged 7.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 1.4 assists in 27.6 minutes per game.
Oct 16, 2023
Granted night off
Thybulle won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Suns due to rest purposes, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle is set for a night off as Portland hopes to get a look at the squad's young talent in the preseason finale. He put together a rough shooting performance in Saturday's exhibition against the Jazz, hitting 1-for-5 from the field and missing all four attempts from beyond the arc.
Oct 14, 2023
Gets starting nod against Jazz
Thybulle is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Jazz, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle will get the nod at small forward, and he is expected to fight for rotation minutes in the final games of the preseason. He averaged 7.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 1.4 assists in 27.7 minutes across 22 games for the Trail Blazers in 2022-23.
Oct 12, 2023
Not starting Thursday
Thybulle is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Phoenix, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle got the start against the New Zealand Breakers the last time out, but he will head to the bench here while Shaedon Sharpe moves into the first unit. Thybulle had eight points, a steal and a block against the Breakers.
Jul 6, 2023
Staying in Portland
The Trail Blazers matched Thybulle's three-year, $33 million offer from the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle was a restricted free agent, so Portland was able to retain the 26-year-old forward despite Dallas' offer. He averaged 7.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 1.4 assists in 27.7 minutes across 22 games for the Trail Blazers in 2022-23. Thybulle will likely be a part of the team's young core for their rebuild if Damian Lillard is traded, as expected.
Jul 5, 2023
Intends to sign offer sheet
Thybulle intends to sign an offer sheet with the Mavericks, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
The Trail Blazers extended a qualifying offer to Thybulle last week, so Portland will have an opportunity to match the Mavericks' offer sheet. The 26-year-old appeared in 71 games between the 76ers and Trail Blazers last year and averaged 4.1 points and 2.0 rebounds in 16.9 minutes per game.
Jun 28, 2023
Will be restricted free agent
The Trailblazers extended a qualifying offer to Thybulle on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Portland can now match any offer Thybulle receives in free agency this summer. While the 25-year-old forward only averaged 4.1 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals, his defensive versatility could be useful to a Trail Blazers team that was bottom 10 in points allowed in 2022-23.
Apr 9, 2023
Won't play Sunday
Thybulle (knee) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle's right knee effusion will end up keeping him on the sideline for a fourth game in a row to close out the 2022-23 campaign. After coming over from Philadelphia in a Feb. 9 trade, Thybulle appeared in 22 games for Portland -- starting each time -- while averaging 7.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.7 steals, 1.5 three-pointers, 1.4 assists and 0.8 blocks in 27.6 minutes per contest. The defensive-minded wing is set to become a restricted free agent this offseason, but it's unclear if Portland will look to retain him.
Apr 7, 2023
Will remain sidelined
Thybulle (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle's absence will mark his third straight game missed due to inflammation in his right knee. His final chance to play this season will come Sunday versus the Warriors.
Apr 6, 2023
Out again Thursday
Thybulle (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Thybulle has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss a third straight game due to inflammation in his right knee. With Cam Reddish (back) and Shaedon Sharpe (knee) also out, Kevin Knox, Shaquille Harrison, Jeenathan Williams and Justin Minaya are all candidates for increased roles.
Apr 5, 2023
Unlikely to suit up Thursday
Thybulle (knee) is doubtful for Thursday's game versus the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle is expected to miss his second straight game Thursday with right knee inflammation. With so many Trail Blazers on the injury report, it's hard to predict who will be available in his absence.
Apr 3, 2023
Questionable Tuesday
Thybulle is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies due to a right knee effusion.
ANALYSIS
Portland's injury report for Tuesday's game includes 12 players, and it wouldn't be surprising to see Thybulle -- a three-year vet -- join the other main guys on the sidelines. If he's not able to give it a go, guys like Shaquille Harrison, Skylar Mays and Jeenathan Williams would be slated for major minutes.
Apr 1, 2023
Lacks offensive aggressiveness
Thybulle posted eight points (2-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 24 minutes during Friday's 138-114 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Even with numerous regulars sidelined, Thybulle's offensive production remains muted. He hasn't scored in double figures for seven straight games, but during that stretch, he has totaled eight steals and five blocks, making him worthy of streaming consideration for those categories.
Mar 25, 2023
Another rough night
Thybulle chipped in five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), one assist and one steal across 14 minutes during Friday's 124-96 loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle's hot start to his Portland career is nothing but a distant memory now, having failed to score more than six points in each of his past three games. During that time he has recorded a total of just three steals and one block, making him a non-factor in the majority of fantasy leagues. While he can still be viewed as a possible streaming candidate, there are likely safer options available given the number of teams throwing in the towel.
Mar 15, 2023
Solid two-way performance
Thybulle ended with 15 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 123-107 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle put together a strong performance despite the loss, matching his season high with 15 points. While his defensive production has been stable since arriving in Portland, Thybulle's offensive contributions have fluctuated, not unlike his career to this point. He has been able to add a somewhat reliable three-point shot to his repertoire, but should still be viewed as a defensive streamer in competitive leagues.
Mar 11, 2023
Stays quiet vs. Philly
Thybulle produced five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 19 minutes during Friday's 120-119 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle has been held to single figures in the scoring column over his last five contests, but he continues to contribute on the defensive end. He's tallied a steal in 14 straight games, and he recorded a block Friday night, marking his sixth of March through six appearances. Thybulle's production in the scoring column won't raise any eyebrows, but his defensive stats make him worth considering in deeper leagues.
Mar 2, 2023
Posts season-high four blocks
Thybulle racked up 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), eight rebounds, four assists, four blocks and one steal across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 121-110 loss to the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle put forth a great defensive effort Wednesday, tying Damian Lillard for the team lead in rebounds with eight while also posting a game and season-high four blocks, all of which came in the first half. The shooting added 12 points on 5-of-10 shooting from the floor to go along with a season-high four assists as the Trail Blazers lost their second straight. Thybulle has now scored in double figures in back-to-back games, going 7-of-10 from three over that brief stretch.
Mar 1, 2023
Continues strong play
Thybulle posted 15 points (5-7 FG, 5-6 3Pt), three rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 123-105 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle was lights out from deep en route to his highest-scoring outing since joining the Trail Blazers. The defensive-minded forward has started all five contests with his new squad and is averaging 8.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.2 blocks in 28.8 minutes while shooting 51.6 percent from the field and 54.5 percent from deep. Thybulle's three-point shot has been a revelation in Portland, but fantasy managers should brace for regression at some point. Either way, the fourth-year pro's sizable role and defensive production makes him a quality stream option in category leagues.
Feb 27, 2023
Continues strong defensive play
Thybulle registered eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 36 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 131-114 win over Houston.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle has started all four games since being traded to Portland and is averaging 7.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 29.8 minutes per game. During that stretch, he's shooting 45.8 percent from the field and 43.8 percent from deep. This is all very positive for the fourth-year forward, who saw his role dramatically dip in Philadelphia before being traded, but what puts Thybulle on fantasy radars is his strong production in the defensive categories. O.G. Anunoby currently leads the league with 2.0 steals per game, so if Thybulle can continue at his current pace, he may be one of the best streaming options for steals in category leagues during the fantasy playoffs.
Feb 15, 2023
Supplies four steals Tuesday
Thybulle provided two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four steals, one rebound and one assist in 30 minutes in Tuesday's 126-101 loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Predictably, Thybulle's output on the offensive end took a step back in the second leg of the back-to-back set after he erupted for 14 points on 4-for-6 shooting from three-point range in his Trail Blazers debut Monday against the Lakers. Fantasy managers should take whatever they get from Thybulle in the scoring column as a bonus moving forward, but as long as he can hold down a 25-plus-minute role, he'll have some appeal as a specialist in the two defensive categories. On a per-36-minute basis, Thybulle has averaged 2.7 steals and 1.5 blocks for his career.
Feb 14, 2023
Flashes offense in Blazers debut
Thybulle ended with 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal in 26 minutes during Monday's 127-115 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle played his first game for Portland since the team acquired him in a trade last week, and he got a starting assignment with Jerami Grant out with a concussion. While Thybulle's bread and butter is undoubtedly his defense, the former 76er unexpectedly showed off his shooting touch, drilling a campaign-high four three-pointers and finishing with double-digit points for just the fourth time this season. The fourth-year pro didn't let down on defense either, swatting three shots and notching one theft. Thybulle isn't likely to put up these type of offensive numbers on a frequent basis, as he's yet to average more than 5.7 points per game in any professional campaign.
Feb 13, 2023
Enters starting five
Thybulle is starting in his Portland debut Monday night against the Lakers, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle is set to make his first appearance as a Trail Blazer, and it'll be in a starting role due to the absence of Jerami Grant (concussion). The Washington product averaged 3.5 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals in his last 10 contests with Philadelphia.
Feb 13, 2023
Omitted from injury report
Thybulle (recently traded) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's matchup against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle was acquired by Portland ahead of the trade deadline, but he was unable to make his Blazers debut Friday against Oklahoma City. However, he's been left off the injury report ahead of Monday's contest, so it appears like he'll suit up and be available against Los Angeles, though it's unclear if he'll have a role in head coach Chauncey Billups' rotation.
Feb 10, 2023
Ruled out Friday
Thybulle will not play against the Thunder on Friday.
ANALYSIS
The Blazers acquired Thybulle at the deadline and he does have a big opportunity to pick up some of the minutes left by Josh Hart who is now in New York. Fantasy managers in need of steals and blocks will want to keep a close eye on him going forward.
Feb 9, 2023
Traded to Portland
Thybulle was traded from the 76ers to the Trail Blazers on Thursday as part of a three-team deal that sends Jalen McDaniels to Philadelphia and Svi Mykhailiuk to the Hornets, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle has spent the first four seasons of his career in Philadelphia but has struggled to find much playing time early in the 2022-23 campaign, averaging a career-low 12.1 minutes over his first 49 appearances of the year. However, the 25-year-old should have a chance to compete with Cam Reddish for minutes in Portland after the Trail Blazers traded Josh Hart to the Knicks on Wednesday.
Jan 31, 2023
Shines in limited minutes
Thybulle finished with 10 points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists, two steals and one rebound in 11 minutes off the bench in Monday's 119-109 loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Despite playing less than 13 minutes in each of the past three contests, Thybulle has produced at least two steals in all of those games and 10-point outings on two occasions. Even for a defensive standout like Thybulle, maintaining that sort of steals production in that sort of limited playing time isn't sustainable, and his track record suggests that the modest scoring outputs may be even more difficult to uphold. Unless the 76ers decide to clear the way for Thybulle to play north of 20 minutes per game, he won't be someone who warrants much attention outside of deeper leagues.
Jan 26, 2023
Tallies three steals off bench
Thybulle totaled 10 points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and three steals across 12 minutes during Wednesday's 137-133 victory over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Despite coming off the bench Wednesday, Thybulle led the 76ers in steals while scoring in double figures for just the second time this season. The 25-year-old hasn't been a fantasy-relevant player this year and has averaged 2.8 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 13.8 minutes per game over 12 appearances in January.
Dec 31, 2022
Starting Saturday
Thybulle will enter the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle is in line for an expanded workload Saturday with James Harden (foot) and P.J. Tucker (knee) sidelined. In five starts this season, he has averaged 5.0 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 23.3 minutes per game.
Dec 19, 2022
Not starting Monday
Thybulle will operate off the bench during Monday's matchup against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle drew back-to-back starts but will return to his usual bench role Monday, as Tobias Harris reclaims his spot in the first five following a one-game absence due to a back injury. Across 17 appearances as a reserve, Thybulle has averaged 1.9 points and 1.1 rebounds in 10.6 minutes per game.
Dec 16, 2022
Starting Friday
Thybulle will start at small forward in Friday's game against the Warriors, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle will replace Tobias Harris (back) in the starting lineup. He has averaged 5.5 points and 2.5 rebounds across 23.9 minutes in four starts this season.
Dec 14, 2022
Catches fire from deep in win
Thybulle scored a season-high 15 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT) to go with two rebounds in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 123-103 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle moved into the starting five in place of the injured De'Anthony Melton (back) and came through with an excellent shooting performance, but he didn't provide any defensive stats, which was likely the main reason any fantasy managers might have streamed him Tuesday. After averaging at least one block and steal per game over the previous two seasons, the 25-year-old is down to 0.2 blocks and 0.8 steals per contest in 2022-23.
Dec 13, 2022
Joins starting lineup
Thybulle will start Tuesday's game versus the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle gets the spot start Tuesday with De'Anthony Melton (back) and Tyrese Maxey (foot) unable to take the floor. He figures to see additional minutes in the contest, averaging just over 24 minutes per game in his three starts this season.
Nov 28, 2022
Available Monday
Thybulle (ankle) is available for Monday's contest against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle has missed the 76ers' past three contests but will be available for the team's matchup against Atlanta on Monday. The 25-year-old wing is averaging just 1.4 points and 1.3 rebounds across 11.4 minutes per game this season.
Nov 28, 2022
Deemed questionable for Monday
Thybulle (ankle) is questionable for Monday's matchup against Atlanta, Justin Grasso of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle is dealing with tenosynovitis in his left ankle, which has forced him to miss three consecutive contests. Even if he's available, the fourth-year wing is averaging only 1.4 points and 1.3 rebounds in 11.4 minutes per game, so he can safely be ignored in most fantasy formats.
Nov 26, 2022
Out at Orlando
Thybulle (ankle) is out Sunday against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle's left ankle soreness will continue to sideline him, but he's struggled to find a role this season and hasn't seen double-digit minutes since Nov. 13. His presence doesn't affect the rotation much at this point.
Nov 24, 2022
Still out Friday
Thybulle (ankle) remains out for Friday's game versus the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle continues to deal with a bothersome ankle that will leave him sidelined for a second consecutive tilt. Even when healthy, His next chance to return arrives Sunday in the rematch with Orlando.
Nov 23, 2022
Ruled out Wednesday
Thybulle (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle exited Tuesday's matchup against the Nets after aggravating his ankle injury, and he's dealing with inflammation ahead of Wednesday's matchup. It's unclear whether he'll be able to return Friday against Orlando.
Nov 22, 2022
Won't return Tuesday
Thybulle won't return to Tuesday's game against Brooklyn due to left ankle soreness, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
It appears as though Thybulle has re-injured his ankle which he had been nursing the past few games. The guard logged just three minutes of action before leaving early. Moving forward, Thybulle will presumably be questionable for Wednesday's game against Charlotte.
Nov 17, 2022
Left off injury report
Thybulle (ankle) wasn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Despite missing the last two days of practice due to an ankle injury, Thybulle seems ready to go for Friday's game. Thybulle is averaging 1.5 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 13.1 minutes across 13 games as a defensive-minded wing.
Nov 17, 2022
Misses practice again Thursday
76ers coach Doc Rivers said Thybulle (ankle) was held out Thursday's practice, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
After missing the last two days of practice, it seems unlikely Thybulle will be ready to go for Friday's game versus the Bucks. If Thybulle can't play, his next opportunity will be Saturday's game versus the Timberwolves.
Nov 16, 2022
Absent from Wednesday's practice
Thybulle didn't participate in Wednesday's practice session due to an ankle injury, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle played 27 minutes as a starter during Sunday's win over the Jazz, but he's apparently dealing with an ankle injury afterward. Whether he'll be available Friday against Milwaukee remains to be seen, but Shake Milton and Danuel House would likely see increased playing time if Thybulle is sidelined.
Nov 13, 2022
Another poor night with first unit
Thybulle amassed two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists, one block and five steals across 27 minutes during Sunday's 105-98 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle started his second straight game despite De'Anthony Melton (back) receiving clearance to play prior to Sunday's tipoff. Thybulle has totaled only five total points in back-to-back starts, but he did contribute on the glass and on the defensive end with a block, his third of the month (six games).
Nov 12, 2022
Flops in starting role Saturday
Thybulle produced three points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal over 30 minutes during Saturday's 121-109 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle shifted into the starting lineup with De'Anthony Melton ruled out due to back stiffness. Unfortunately, that's where the good news ends for Thybulle who barely troubled the scorers despite playing 30 minutes. The season has been a disaster for Thybulle thus far and based on what we saw here, there is very little reason to think he gets back on track anytime soon. He can be left on the wire in just about every format.
Nov 12, 2022
Starting for injured Melton
Thybulle will start Saturday's game against the Hawks, Lauren Rosen of the 76ers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
With De'Anthony Melton (back) out, Thybulle is making his second start of the year. However, in his previous start, he logged only 16 minutes.
Nov 4, 2022
Available Friday
Thybulle is available for Friday's game against the Knicks, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle should continue to see increased minutes with James Harden (foot), Joel Embiid (illness) and Danuel House (illness) shelved. Over the past four games, Thybulle has averaged 2.8 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals in 18.8 minutes.
Nov 3, 2022
Questionable to play Friday
Thybulle (ankle) is questionable to play in Friday's game versus the Knicks, Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle sprained his ankle during Wednesday's loss to the Wizards. Thybulle has yet to score over six points in a game this season, and his fantasy value mostly comes from his steals and blocks. The fourth-year forward's next opportunity to play will be Monday's game against the Spurs if he doesn't play Friday.
Nov 2, 2022
Exits game with injury
Thybulle left Wednesday's game versus the Wizards with a sprained ankle in the third quarter, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle tallied two points, two assists and a steal in 16 minutes before exiting the game. Thybulle's status for Friday's game versus the Knicks is uncertain.
Nov 2, 2022
Set to start Wednesday
Thybulle is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle gets the start Wednesday with De'Anthony Mleton (back and Joel Embiid (illness) out. Thybulle has had a slow start to the season, only averaging 1.3 points, 1.1 rebounds and 0.6 steals in 9.3 minutes across seven games this season. While the fourth-year forward isn't expected to score many points, he could post some impressive defensive numbers, as he averaged 1.7 steals and 1.1 blocks last season.
Oct 24, 2022
Completely uninvolved
Thybulle finished Monday's 120-106 win over the Pacers with no counting stats across two minutes.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle appears to be fully subtracted from the rotation at the moment. He's logged just five total minutes despite being active for all four of Philadelphia's contests thus far.
Oct 5, 2022
Not starting Wednesday
Thybulle will come off the bench for Wednesday's preseason game against the Cavaliers, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle started Monday's preseason opener against the Nets and contributed three points, one rebound and three steals across 18 minutes of action. He'll come off the bench for Philadelphia's second preseason game as P.J. Tucker replaces him in the starting five.
May 12, 2022
Active Thursday
Thybulle (foot) has entered Thursday's Game 6 against Miami, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
In what was previously an odd situation, Thybulle has finally been deemed active. Thybulle entered the game for the injured Danny Green, who appeared to hurt his left leg after Joel Embed fell onto it early in the first quarter.
May 11, 2022
Questionable Thursday
Thybulle is questionable for Thursday's Game 6 against the Heat due to left foot soreness.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle has had a limited offensive impact early in the second-round series against Miami, averaging 2.8 points in 16.4 minutes per game. If he's unavailable for Game 6, Furkan Korkmaz should see an uptick in playing time.
May 4, 2022
Hits rock-bottom offensively
Thybulle closed with two rebounds, one block and one steal across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 119-103 loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Wednesday marked the most minutes Thybulle has logged in a postseason game without scoring. Additionally, it marked his first game all season without attempting a shot. Thybulle finished with a minus-six in the box score and is struggling to offset his offensive ineptitude.
Apr 26, 2022
Set to miss Game 6 at Toronto
Barring a change in his vaccination status, Thybulle will not be eligible to play in Thursday's Game 6 at Toronto.
ANALYSIS
As was the case for a game near the end of the regular season, as well as Games 3 and 4 of the current series, Thybulle is not able to play in Toronto due to his status as a non-vaccinated player. There's been no indication that Thybulle plans to become fully vaccinated, so while the Sixers may not issue an official injury report until Wednesday, the expectation is that the defensive ace will not be available. Thybulle struggled through an overall sluggish Game 5 effort by the Sixers, finishing with just two points on 1-of-6 shooting (0-3 3Pt) to go with two rebounds and one steal in 14 minutes off the bench.
Apr 22, 2022
Remains out for Game 4
Thybulle is officially listed as ineligible to play in Saturday's Game 4 in Toronto.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Thybulle will once again be sidelined in Toronto due to the fact that he's not fully vaccinated. In his absence, Danny Green and Georges Niang are expected to pick up additional minutes.
Apr 19, 2022
Officially ineligible for Game 3
Thybulle is officially listed as ineligible to play in Wednesday's Game 3 at Toronto.
ANALYSIS
Due to the fact that he's not fully vaccinated, Thybulle will be forced to sit out games at Toronto, so he'll miss both Games 3 and 4, as well as Game 6, should it be necessary. For the majority of the regular season, Thybulle's vaccination status was a non-issue, but it quickly became a headline when the defensive-minded wing was unable to play in the Sixers' April 7 matchup with the Raptors in Toronto. At that point, Philadelphia knew it would be without Thybulle for road games in a potential playoff matchup against Toronto, so this is something the team has been bracing for. With Thybulle unavailable, Danny Green and Georges Niang will likely pick up additional minutes.
Apr 10, 2022
Won't be available in Toronto
Thybulle will not be available for road games during the Sixers' upcoming Round 1 playoff series against the Raptors due to his vaccination status, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 76ers were able to keep this under wraps for almost the entire season, but some red flags were raised when Thybulle was listed as "ineligible" for a game at Toronto this past Thursday. With the fourth-seeded Sixers now locked into a first-round matchup against the fifth-seeded Raptors, Thybulle will be unavailable for games at Toronto, barring a change in his vaccination status. As the higher seed, Philly will get Games 1, 2, 5 and 7 at home, but Thybulle projects to be eligible for Games 3, 4 and 6, should the series extend that far.
Apr 10, 2022
Returns to starting five
Thybulle is starting Sunday's game against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle came off the bench in Saturday's win over Indiana, but he'll return to the starting lineup Sunday since James Harden (hamstring) is out. Thybulle has averaged 4.4 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 24.2 minutes per game across his last five appearances.
Apr 9, 2022
Not starting Saturday
Thybulle isn't starting Saturday's game against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle sat out Thursday against Toronto due to eligibility reasons, and he'll take on a bench role Saturday. Danny Green will remain in the starting lineup.
Apr 8, 2022
Off injury report
Thybulle (ineligible) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle wasn't able to play when the 76ers visited the Raptors in Canada, presumably due to his vaccination status. Back in the United States on Saturday, Thybulle will be allowed to compete. Over his past 10 appearances, he's averaged 5.9 points, 1.9 steals, 1.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.1 blocks in 23.2 minutes.
Apr 6, 2022
Listed ineligible for Thursday
Thybulle is listed as ineligible for Thursday's game at Toronto.
ANALYSIS
This is an interesting development for the 76ers, as it appears -- although it's not confirmed -- that Thybulle is not able to play in Toronto due to his vaccination status. For just this one game, not having Thybulle available isn't the end of the world, but the Raptors and Sixers could potentially match up in Round 1 of the playoffs. If that were to happen, Thybulle would not be able to play in any road games throughout the series.
Mar 26, 2022
Snags three steals in win
Thybulle closed with 13 points (5-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and three steals across 26 minutes during Friday's 122-97 win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle's production can vary widely from game-to-game, but on balance he's one of the league's most dependable sources of blocks and steals. Over his last five games, he's averaging 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks despite posting zero blocks/steals in last Monday's win over Miami.
Mar 20, 2022
Four blocks, three steals in loss
Thybulle totaled 12 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, four blocks and three steals in 34 minutes during Sunday's 93-88 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle's defensive production has been a little spotty of late, by his standards, but he demonstrated once again why he's one of the most unique players in fantasy basketball. Now in his third NBA season, Thybulle is on course to average a career-best 2.9 combined steals and blocks per game. The wing has recorded at least three steals in 19 of his 55 appearances.
Mar 15, 2022
Packs box score
Thybulle ended with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and six steals over 26 minutes during Monday's 114-110 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle scored more Monday night than he had in his last two contests combined, as he'd been held to just four total points over that stretch. It was also a positive sign to see the Washington product get involved on the glass, as he's not typically one to pull down more than a few boards. Thybulle has been a somewhat consistent source of blocks for fantasy managers of late, swatting a shot in five of his last seven matchups.
Mar 3, 2022
Rejects three shots in win
Thybulle finished with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three blocks, two assists and one rebound across 25 minutes Wednesday in the 76ers' 123-108 win over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
While the 10 points were a nice bonus, Thybulle did exactly what fantasy managers wanted from him in Wednesday in providing defensive stats. After two straight games of three steals, Thybulle switched it up and provided more of an impact in protecting the rim and contesting shots as the 76ers cruised to a comfortable win. With averages of 1.8 steals and 1.1 blocks per game for the season, Thybulle should remain a high-end asset in both areas the rest of the way.
Feb 28, 2022
Scoops up three steals in win
Thybulle finished with eight points (4-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds, three steals and two assists in Sunday's 125-109 win over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle paid dividends for those that streamed him for steals over the weekend, as the third-year forward delivered six thefts between blowout wins against the Timberwolves and Knicks. The scoring and rebounding production he delivered Sunday are on the higher end of what he typically offers, but Thybulle should be viewed as an elite source of defensive stats so long as he continues to handle a 25-plus-minute role. Though he came up empty in the blocks category in the past two games, he's still averaging 1.0 per game on the season.
Feb 13, 2022
Racks up six steals in win
Thybulle finished Saturday's 103-93 victory over the Cavaliers with six points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, one block and six steals in 32 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle notched a combined seven defensive stats Saturday, reminding fantasy managers just what he is capable of. Unfortunately, his offensive game has not taken the steps forward we were hoping to see, capping his overall appeal in competitive leagues. Looking ahead, it's safe to say he will remain either an elite streaming option or a deeper league difference-maker.
Feb 9, 2022
Solid performance in loss
Thybulle produced eight points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 loss to Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle was back in the starting lineup Tuesday following a one-game absence due to a shoulder injury. The defensive ace was perfect from the field and the free-throw line, but as usual, he wasn't overly aggressive on offense. Thybulle provided his usual defensive output and didn't appear to be limited during his 35 minutes of action -- his fourth highest total of the season.
Feb 8, 2022
Starting Tuesday
Thybulle (shoulder) will start Tuesday's game against Phoenix, Tim Bontemps of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle was initially a game-time call due to a shoulder injury, but after going through a pregame workout he's been cleared to start on the wing. The defensive ace missed Sunday's win over the Bulls. He's started every game in which he's appeared dating back to Dec. 20.
Feb 8, 2022
Will be game-time decision
Coach Doc Rivers said Thybulle (shoulder) will be a game-time decision ahead of Wednesday's meeting with the Suns, Justin Grasso of SI.com reports. He's officially listed as questionable.
ANALYSIS
Thubulle was sidelined for Sunday's win over the Bulls and is in jeopardy of missing back-to-back games. If he's unable to suit up, Danny Green, Furkan Korkmaz and Georges Niang should continue to see additional run.
Feb 7, 2022
Questionable Tuesday
Thybulle (shoulder) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle missed Sunday's game against the Bulls due to a sore right shoulder, but he'll have a chance to return to the court Tuesday. If he remains out, Danny Green, Furkan Korkmaz and Georges Niang should continue to see additional run.
Feb 6, 2022
Ruled out Sunday
Thybulle (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Bulls, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle will miss at least one contest due to right shoulder soreness. In his absence, Danny Green will draw the start while Furkan Korkmaz and Georges Niang are likely candidates for increased roles off the bench.
Feb 5, 2022
Questionable vs. Bulls
Thybulle is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Bulls due to right shoulder soreness.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle, over the past six games, is averaging 5.5 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 29.0 minutes. If he sits out Sunday, more minutes could be available for Furkan Kormaz (knee), Danny Green and Georges Niang.
Jan 26, 2022
Posts two steals, block in return
Thybulle (shoulder) logged 33 minutes in Tuesday's 117-107 win over the Pelicans, finishing with three points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle started and handled a heavy minutes load in his return from a five-game absence due to a sprained shoulder, but he didn't provide his trademark stalwart defense in the win. Though the stat sheet told a different story, Thybulle served as the primary defender against Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who blew up for 31 points and was able to get off jumpers without much difficulty. Once he regains his wind, expect Thybulle to resume shining on the defensive end both from a statistical and real-life standpoint, though he'll likely have to sacrifice at least a few minutes once the likes of Seth Curry (ankle), Danny Green (hip) and Shake Milton (back) are back in action.
Jan 25, 2022
Expected to start Wednesday
Coach Doc Rivers said Thybulle (shoulder) will play in Tuesday's contest against the Pelicans and will likely be in the starting lineup, Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle has missed the last five games with a right shoulder sprain, but he will make his return Tuesday. It's possible he's limited, but given Rivers comments, fantasy mangers can likely trust him to play his usual 20-30 minutes per game.
Jan 24, 2022
Questionable Tuesday
Thybulle (shoulder) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle has missed the last five games with a right shoulder sprain, but he'll have a chance to return to action Tuesday. If he's available against New Orleans, the 24-year-old could face a minutes restriction following his absence.
Jan 23, 2022
Out again Sunday
Thybulle (shoulder) remains out for Sunday's game in San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle will be sidelined for a fifth consecutive game while he contends with a sprained right shoulder, though he could be ready to return at some point during the 76ers' upcoming three-game week. With Danny Green (hip) and Seth Curry (ankle) also sitting out Sunday, the 76ers will likely turn to Furkan Korkmaz and Isaiah Joe to serve as their starting wings.
Jan 16, 2022
Out at least a week
Thybulle (shoulder) will miss at least a week with a strained right shoulder, Tim Bontemps of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle sustained the injury after taking a hard fall during Friday's game against Boston, and the Sixers are preparing to be without the defensive specialist for at least the next four games. He'll be evaluated early next week, at which point a clearer timetable should be available.
Jan 16, 2022
Won't play Monday
Thybulle (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle will miss his second straight game after leaving Friday's matchup against Boston due to right shoulder soreness. In his absence, Furkan Korkmaz is expected to draw another start while Georges Niang garners an increased role off the bench.
Jan 15, 2022
Ruled out Saturday
Thybulle (shoulder) won't play Saturday against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle exited Friday's matchup against Boston due to right shoulder soreness, and he'll remain out for at least one additional game. Furkan Korkmaz and Georges Niang will likely see increased work against Miami.
Jan 14, 2022
Won't return Friday
Thybulle won't return to Friday's game against the Celtics due to right shoulder soreness, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle recorded eight points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT), four rebounds, an assist, five steals and two blocks in 28 minutes prior to being ruled out during the fourth quarter. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Saturday's game against Miami.
Jan 8, 2022
Doesn't miss in win
Thybulle had 12 points (5-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two steals over 33 minutes during Friday's 119-100 victory over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle returned to the starting lineup after a two-game absence and didn't miss a beat. He was perfect from the field en route to 12 points and notched multiple steals for the 14th time this season. The third-year pro is averaging 5.7 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.1 blocks in 26.0 minutes per game.
Jan 7, 2022
Starting Friday
Thybulle will start Friday's game against the Spurs, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle was cleared from protocols and will join the starters as Danny Green is moved to the bench. In Thybulle's 13 starts, he's averaged 6.1 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.9 steals, 1.5 blocks and 1.1 assists in 30.7 minutes.
Jan 6, 2022
Off injury report
Thybulle (COVID-19 protocols) is off the injury report ahead of Friday's contest against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle has missed the 76ers' past two games in protocols but should return Friday. He's started eight of his past nine appearances, with averages of 5.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.6 steals, 1.2 blocks and 1.1 assists in 28.2 minutes.
Jan 3, 2022
Lands in COVID-19 protocols
Thybulle entered the league's health and safety protocols Monday, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
It's not clear whether Thybulle has tested positive for COVID-19, but he'll join several of his teammates in the league's health and safety protocols. Furkan Korkmaz and Georges Niang could see increased run in his absence.
Dec 31, 2021
Super active defensively
Thybulle accumulated six points (3-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals across 39 minutes during Thursday's 110-102 win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle saw increased usage with Danny Green entering health and safety protocols, but failed to convert that into meaningful numbers on offense. As usual, the defensive stalwart buoyed his performance in said department, but Thursday marked the first game in over a month where Thybulle recorded multiple blocks and steals. Nonetheless, he grades out as a top-10 defender in net plus-minus.
Dec 20, 2021
Back in starting five
Thybulle will start Monday's game against the Celtics, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle will make his ninth start of the season Monday as Philadelphia deals with some COVID-related absences. The 24-year-old has averaged 6.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.6 blocks in 29.0 minutes across said starts.
Dec 16, 2021
Retreats to bench
Thybulle is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Nets, Rich Hofmann of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle will swap places with Danny Green in the lineup after starting in the last three games. The 24-year-old doesn't produce much on the offensive end but is becoming known as one of the league's top defenders and likely will have the task of guarding Kevin Durant when they're on the floor together.
Dec 12, 2021
Shuts down Curry in win
Thybulle chipped in six points (2-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 34 minutes during Saturday's 102-93 win over Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle was inserted into the starting lineup for the first time since Nov. 27 and asked to contain Stephen Curry in his quest for the all-time NBA record for three-pointers. Thybulle shined in the opportunity, holding Curry to a trio of treys on 14 attempts and blocking two of the sharpshooter's tries from beyond the arc. Per Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News, Thybulle is the first NBA player to block multiple three-point attempts by Curry in one game. His role as a defensive specialist makes him much more valuable in real life than in fantasy, though Thybulle's 1.8 steals and 1.2 blocks per contest give him some low-end value in deep leagues.
Dec 11, 2021
Starting over Green
Thybulle will start Saturday's game against the Warriors, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle is getting the start over a healthy Danny Green, and it seems possible the 76ers will use him to shadow Stephen Curry. In Thybulle's previous five starts, he's averaged 8.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.6 steals, 1.8 blocks and 1.0 assists in 32.6 minutes.
Dec 10, 2021
Continues quiet streak
Thybulle produced seven points (3-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes during Thursday's 118-96 loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle is an alluring name in fantasy circles given his prowess in steal and block production. However, Thybulle has supplied just four steals and one block over five previous contests -- both his lowest totals of any five game stretch this season. Trending in the wrong direction, Thybulle can't merit much fantasy attention at this time.
Nov 29, 2021
Moving to bench
Thybulle is not in the starting lineup for Monday night's game against the Magic, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
After a three-game stint in the starting five, Thybulle will head back to the bench while Danny Green reclaims his small forward spot. Over that three-game run, Thybulle posted 9.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.0 steals, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 assists in 31.7 minutes. His minutes will likely take a slight hit, but the third-year wing should still remain a well-above-average source of defensive stats -- especially for his position.
Nov 22, 2021
Joins starting five
Thybulle is starting Monday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle draws his first start since Nov. 4 against the Pistons. He'll likely be asked to shoulder a heavier load than usual Monday evening, as Philadelphia is missing four of their usual starters due to injury. Thybulle has scored in double figures just once over 10 games in 2021.
Nov 20, 2021
Will play limited minutes
Thybulle (COVID-19 protocols) will play and see limited minutes, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
The wing has missed the past seven games but will return in a limited capacity Saturday. He should ramp up to a normal workload over the course of next week.
Nov 19, 2021
Questionable Saturday
Thybulle (COVID-19 protocols) is considered questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Trail Blazers, Justin Grasso of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle has missed the 76ers' previous seven games while in health and safety protocols. If he does ultimately get the green light to return Saturday, it would be reasonable to expect the 76ers to ease him back into the swing of things.
Nov 17, 2021
Out again Thursday
Thybulle (COVID-19 protocols) has been ruled out for Thursday's game at Denver, Justin Grasso of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle will be sidelined for the seventh straight game due to the health and safety protocols. Coach Doc Rivers said earlier this week the 24-year-old should rejoin the team during the current road trip, which runs through next Wednesday at Golden State.
Nov 17, 2021
Should return during road trip
Philadelphia head coach Doc Rivers said Tuesday that Thybulle (illness) will likely rejoin the team and possibly play at some point during the remaining four games of the 76ers' six-game West Coast road trip, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. "With Matisse, it's just trying to get the right date with the league," Rivers said, regarding when Thybulle might clear the NBA's health and safety protocols for COVID-19. "It's a lot of clutter going on. I'll leave it at that."
ANALYSIS
Thybulle originally entered quarantine Nov. 5 as a close contact of an infected person, then tested positive for the virus himself shortly thereafter. Despite being vaccinated, Thybulle had to sit out 10 days in accordance with health and safety protocols, but he'll be eligible to return for the 76ers' next game Thursday in Denver. Even so, it's unclear if Thybulle will be ready to go from a conditioning standpoint by Thursday, so he's best viewed as somewhere between doubtful and questionable for that contest until the 76ers provide another update on his status. Thybulle, who has delivered most of his fantasy value in the form of 2.3 steals and 1.7 blocks per game over nine outings this season, has missed each of the 76ers' last six contests.
Nov 15, 2021
Still out Tuesday
Thybulle (COVID-19 protocols) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game at Utah, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle will be sidelined for the sixth straight contest due to the health and safety protocols, as will Joel Embiid. Shake Milton and Furkan Korkmaz are slated for increased roles with Danny Green (hamstring) also ruled out.
Nov 12, 2021
Won't play Saturday
Thybulle (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) is listed as out for Saturday's contest against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle will miss his fifth straight game Saturday due to COVID-19 protocols. Joel Embiid and Isaiah Joe will also remain sidelined due to protocols, but the 76ers did get Tobias Harris back Thursday. Paul Reed and Georges Niang will likely continue to see increased minutes during Thybulle's absence.
Nov 9, 2021
Not available Tuesday
Thybulle (COVID-19) is out for Tuesday's contest against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle will miss another game after being deemed a close contact to Isaiah Joe, who tested positive for the virus. All hands will be on deck for the Sixers on Tuesday, as they continue to deal with a COVID-19 outbreak that has sidelined numerous players.
Nov 7, 2021
Remains out through Monday
Thybulle (COVID-19) won't play Monday against the Knicks, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle was entered into the team's COVID-19 protocol over the weekend after being identified as a close contact to Isaiah Joe, who tested positive for the virus late in the week. The 24-year-old forward will have to miss at least one more game due to contact tracing, leaving the door open for Furkan Korkmaz and possibly Danny Green (hamstring) to see a good chunk of minutes.
Nov 6, 2021
Becomes newest Sixer in protocol
Thybulle was placed into the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols Friday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle became the sixth member of the 76ers to enter the NBA's protocol and as a result, will not play Saturday against the Bulls. Connor Joe was placed in protocol Thursday and Thybulle's locker is right next to his, plus, he sat next to Joe on the bench during Wednesday's contest. HIs absence could leave Philadelphia with just eight available players Saturday. The 24-year-old had previously been filling in for Danny Green (hamstring) in the starting lineup but now the Sixers will likely have to include Furkan Korkmaz if he's able to go with a wrist injury.
Nov 3, 2021
Starting for injured Green
Thybulle is starting Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
With Danny Green (hamstring) and Tobias Harris (COVID-19 protocols) out, Thybulle and Furkan Korkmaz get the starts at forward. Per 36 minutes, Thybulle is averaging 7.6 points, 3.9 steals, 3.2 assists, 2.3 assists and 2.3 blocks.
Oct 30, 2021
Seven defensive numbers Saturday
Thybulle closed with 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four steals, three rebounds, three blocks and two assists in 23 minutes during Saturday's 122-94 victory over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle put on a defensive clinic once again, turning in his best performance of the season to date. He added a sprinkling of offensive sugar to this effort, something that managers should know not to expect on a regular basis. As always, Thybulle has 12 -team value but is only a viable asset if you are looking for steals and blocks.
Oct 29, 2021
Rookie scale option picked up
Thybulle has his 2022-23 option picked up by the Sixers on Friday, Derek Bodner of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle has been a core part of the Sixers' game plan since joining them as a rookie in 2019, averaging 19.8 and 20.0 minutes respectively during his first two seasons in the NBA. The 24-year-old has never been a major offensive producer, but his defensive prowess makes him a valuable commodity that Philly has now locked down through the 2022-23 campaign.
Oct 19, 2021
Removed from report
Thybulle (shoulder) is not on the Sixers' injury report ahead of Wednesday's matchup with the Pelicans, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philly reports.
ANALYSIS
A sore shoulder kept Thybulle on the shelf for the final week of the preseason, but he was back at practice Sunday and has been cleared to play in Wednesday's opener. On the whole, the defensive specialist is not an overly valuable asset in most season-long fantasy leagues, but his per-minute steal and block rates are certainly intriguing. The 6-5 wing closed last season averaging 1.6 steals and 1.1 blocks in just 20.0 minutes per contest, but he added only 3.9 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.0 assists while shooting 42.0 percent from the field, 30.1 percent from three and 44.4 percent at the charity stripe.
Oct 17, 2021
Expects to play Wednesday
Thybulle (shoulder) is expecting to play at New Orleans on Wednesday, per Tom Moore of the Bucks County Courier Times.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle could play during the Sixers' first 2021-22 season game, considering he said his right shoulder feels good and if it is not a lingering problem Wednesday.
Oct 14, 2021
Out Friday
Thybulle (shoulder) is out for Friday's preseason finale against the Pistons, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle hasn't played since the preseason opener due to right shoulder soreness. However, there's no indication that he'll miss the regular-season opener.
Oct 13, 2021
Fails to practice Wednesday
Thybulle (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday, Justin Grasso of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle sat out Monday's preseason game against the Nets. It's not clear if he'll be available for the finale Friday against the Pistons.
Oct 7, 2021
Ruled out Thursday
Thybulle (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason game against the Raptors, Tom Moore of the Bucks County Courier Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle dealt with right shoulder soreness ahead of Thursday's matchup, and he'll be unable to take the court. The 24-year-old will be evaluated again in a week, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him held out Monday against the Nets. Furkan Korkmaz and Georges Niang should see increased run in his absence.
Oct 6, 2021
Questionable for Thursday
Thybulle (shoulder soreness) is questionable for Thursday's preseason contest against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
The two-way wing popped up on the injury report with a sore right shoulder and is questionable for Thursday's preseason matchup against Toronto. Thybulle played 21 minutes during Monday's preseason opener, but scored just five points to go with three assists. The 24-year-old is entering his third season in the league and has proven himself as a key defensive piece in coach Doc Rivers' rotation. If Thybulle is ruled out for Thursday, the Washington product's next chance to make his preseason debut comes Monday against Brooklyn.
Jun 2, 2021
Starting in place of Embiid
Thybulle will start Wednesday's Game 5 against the Wizards, Tom Moore of the Bucks County Courier Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Surprisingly, coach Doc Rivers will insert Thybulle in the starting five for the injured Joel Embiid (knee), opting to still bring Dwight Howard off the bench. In eight starts this season, Thybulle has averaged 5.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.0 steals, 1.6 assists and 1.4 blocks in 29.0 minutes. In the absence of a true center, Ben Simmons appears to be in line to serve as the nominal five on the first unit.
May 27, 2021
Five blocks, four steals off bench
Thybulle finished Wednesday's Game 2 win over the Wizards with five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five blocks and four steals.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle needed only 20 minutes of action off the bench to post one of the more unique stat lines of the season -- particularly for a wing. It was just the 20th time in NBA playoff history that a player recorded at least four steals and five blocks. Through two games (34 minutes), the defensive ace out of Washington has totaled seven blocks and six steals.
May 23, 2021
Not on injury report
Thybulle (hand) was not listed on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle was available for practice last week, so his availability is not a big surprise despite a hand injury that hampered him at the end of the regular season. He should see his regular workload of around 20 minutes during Sunday's game.
May 18, 2021
Practices Tuesday
Coach Doc Rivers indicated that everyone, including Thybulle (hand), was available during practice Tuesday, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle missed the final four games of the regular season due to some hand swelling but appears to be in pretty good shape as the postseason approaches. Confirmation of his status should arrive ahead of the team's opener.
May 16, 2021
Remains out Sunday
Thybulle (hand) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Magic, Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle will miss a third straight game due to a hand injury. It's not yet clear whether he'll be healthy enough to return for the playoffs.
May 15, 2021
Chance to return Sunday
Thybulle (hand) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle sat out the past two games after being considered questionable, and he'll attempt to turn around his luck in the final game of the regular season.
May 14, 2021
Remains out Friday
Thybulle (hand) is out for Friday's game against Orlando, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle will miss a third straight game with left hand soreness. Expect veteran Danny Green and Furkan Korkmaz to handle most of the minutes at the small-forward position Friday.
May 14, 2021
Questionable Friday
Thybulle (hand) is questionable for Friday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle has missed the past two games with left hand swelling but could return Friday. If he doesn't, he has just one more chance to return during the regular season.
May 13, 2021
Out Thursday
Thybulle (hand) will not play Thursday against Miami, Derek Bodner of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle will miss his second game in a row due to soreness in his left hand. Tyrese Maxey should see increased minutes with Thybulle sidelined once again.
May 12, 2021
Questionable vs. Heat
Thybulle (hand) is questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Left hand soreness prevented Thybulle from playing Tuesday. If he's out again Thursday, more minutes would be available for Tyrese Maxey.
May 10, 2021
Out with hand injury
Thybulle has been ruled out for Tuesday's game at Indiana with left hand soreness.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old apparently suffered the injury Saturday against the Pistons, though he returned to action after heading to the locker room during that contest. Thybulle's next chance to take the court will come Thursday in Miami.
May 8, 2021
Checks back in
Thybulle (undisclosed) has returned to Saturday's matchup against the Pistons, Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle went to the locker room for an undisclosed reason, but he's back on the court.
May 8, 2021
Goes to locker room
Thybulle went to the locker room during the third quarter of Saturday's game against the Pistons, Justin Grasso of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It's not clear if Thybulle will return. If he doesn't, there could be more minutes available for Tyrese Maxey and George Hill.
May 8, 2021
Starting vs. Pistons
Thybulle is starting Saturday's game against the Pistons, Marc Narducci of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
With Seth Curry (rest) out, Thybulle will get the nod Saturday. In seven previous starts, Thybulle has averaged 5.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.7 steals, 1.9 assists and 1.6 blocks in 30.4 minutes.
May 6, 2021
Rakes in defensive stats
Thybulle collected five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four blocks, three steals, two assists and two rebounds in a 135-115 victory over the Rockets on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle had an impressive performance on the defensive end, recording a new season-high block total and totaling more defensive stats (seven) than he has in any other game this season. The forward has scored in double figures in just four games since the All-Star break, but he's stayed fantasy relevant by averaging 1.8 steals and 1.3 blocks per game in the second half of the year.
Apr 22, 2021
Shifts to bench
Thybulle will come off the bench for Thursday's game against Milwaukee, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
With Tobias Harris and Seth Curry back in action, Thybulle will head to the bench after starting Wednesday's narrow loss to the Suns. Thybulle was held scoreless in that game, though he did rack up three boards, three assists, three blocks and two steals in 36 minutes.
Apr 22, 2021
Racks up five defensive stats in loss
Thybulle scored zero points (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 116-113 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle was in the starting lineup against the Suns and despite the fact he failed to score, he still managed to contribute on the defensive end of the floor. At this stage, Thybulle is the ultimate defensive streamer and so if you can overlook his obvious fantasy flaws, he can have value, even in competitive leagues.
Apr 21, 2021
Starting vs. Suns
Thybulle will start Wednesday's game against Phoenix, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philly reports.
ANALYSIS
The Sixers are yet again without a few regulars, so coach Doc Rivers will shuffle the deck and go with Thybulle at one forward spot while Mike Scott shifts to the bench. Thybulle tied his season high with 13 points -- to go with three steals -- in 31 minutes during Monday's loss to Golden State
Apr 19, 2021
Records three steals off bench
Thybulle played 31 minutes off the bench and added 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, three steals, one rebound and one assist in the 107-96 loss to the Warriors on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle is one of the better defenders on the Philadelphia roster and showed why once again as he is averaging 1.5 steals and 1.2 blocks in the month of April. Thybulle won't provide much from an offensive standpoint but his defensive abilities make him a guy to keep an eye on if you need steals and blocks.
Apr 11, 2021
Piles up defensive stats
Thybulle recorded three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, three steals and two blocks in 26 minutes during Saturday's win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old received the start Saturday with Tobias Harris (knee) and Danny Green (hip) out and racked up three steals and two blocks while adding a three-pointer. Thybulle is averaging just 2.4 attempts over his last five games, so don't expect him to score much even if he continues to start. Until Harris and Green return to the lineup, feel free to stream the second-year guard if you need steals and low-end blocks.
Apr 10, 2021
Starting vs. OKC
Thybulle will start Saturday's game against the Thunder, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
With Danny Green (hip) and Tobias Harris (knee) out, Thybulle and Furkan Korkmaz will start. In five starts this season, Thybulle has averaged 7.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.8 steals, 2.0 assists and 1.2 blocks in 30.3 minutes.
Mar 21, 2021
To come off bench
Thybulle will come off the bench for Sunday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle got the nod in place of Seth Curry (ankle) on Saturday against the Kings, but coach Doc Rivers will go with Furkan Korkmaz on the wing Sunday. Thybulle finished Saturday's game with eight points, seven rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 32 minutes. The defensive-minded guard is averaging 2.5 steals and 1.2 blocks over his last six contests.
Mar 20, 2021
Starting Saturday
Thybulle will start Saturday's game against the Kings, James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle will get the nod for the injured Seth Curry (ankle). In four previous starts this season, Thybulle has averaged 7.0 points, 3.3 steals, 2.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 blocks in 29.5 minutes.

Three blocks in win
Thybulle scored three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and added three blocks, one rebound, one assist and one steal in a 99-96 victory over the Knicks on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle continued his stretch of piling up the defensive stats, totaling three or more blocks and steals in five consecutive games. The guard is a phenomenal defender averaging 3.1 steals and 1.9 blocks per 36 minutes. In his second season, Thybulle is averaging only 3.7 points and 1.6 rebounds per game across 18.4 minutes, so any offensive production is a bonus for Philadelphia.
Mar 14, 2021
Racks up three steals
Thybulle had 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt), three rebounds and three steals in Sunday's win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle moved to the bench with Ben Simmons back in the lineup, but he needed only 17 minuets to record his fourth consecutive multi-steal game. The second-year guard is not much of a fantasy consideration right now, unless you're in desperate need of steals. Even in limited minutes this season (18.5 MPG), Thybulle is posting 1.5 steals per contest.
Mar 14, 2021
Will return to bench
Thybulle will come off the bench Sunday against the Spurs, Paul Garcia of Project Spurs reports.
ANALYSIS
With Ben Simmons back in action, the Sixers will go with Simmons and Seth Curry in the backcourt, while Danny Green and Tobias Harris man the forward spots. Tony Bradley will get the nod at center in the absence of Joel Embiid (knee).
Mar 12, 2021
Starting Friday
Thybulle is starting Friday's game against the Wizards, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle will join the starting lineup for a second consecutive night with Ben Simmons (COVID-19 protocols) unavailable. He recorded 13 points, five steals, four rebounds and one assist over 28 minutes in Thursday's win over the Bulls.
Mar 11, 2021
Perfect night shooting
Thybulle tallied 13 points (5-5 FG, 3-3 3Pt) five steals, four rebounds and one assist across 28 minutes in Thursday's win over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Over his last six games, Thybulle totaled just 16 points on 6-for-20 shooting while breaking the 20-minute plateau just once. Thursday, he made all five of his shots, including his three treys, en route to a season-high 13 points. Thybulle also made a difference on the defensive side of the ball, tying a career best with five steals. While he can be counted on for some steals, he doesn't contribute all that much on the offensive end, especially when the 76ers are at full strength, to be fantasy relevant.
Mar 11, 2021
Back in starting five
Thybulle is starting Thursday's game against the Bulls, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle will draw his third start of the season after having come off the bench in the 76ers' last six games. He played over 30 minutes in each of his last starts, but was held to just a combined seven points.
Feb 25, 2021
Back to bench role
Thybulle has totaled seven points, four rebounds, four assists and three blocks in 31 minutes across his past two games coming off the bench.
ANALYSIS
After drawing two starts due to injury absences, Thybulle has shifted back to a bench role. He's looked as good as ever on defense, but he's struggled on offense. The second-year wing has shot just 37.9 percent from the field and 26.7 percent from three.
Feb 17, 2021
Joins starting five
Thybulle will start Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Tom Moore of the Bucks County Courier Times reports.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old will make his first start of the season with Ben Simmons unable to play Wednesday due to an illness. Thybulle is averaging 3.2 points and 1.3 rebounds in 17.2 minutes this season, so he's unlikely to find fantasy relevance even with an increased workload.
Feb 16, 2021
Adds five points off bench
Thybulle had five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3PT), one rebound, one assist, two steals and two blocks in 20 minutes Monday against Utah.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle contributed across the board in this one, but it wasn't enough to lift his team to victory. He continues to see consistent minutes off the bench for the Sixers this season, averaging just over 17 minutes per contest.
Jan 31, 2021
Logs four steals in win
Thybulle tallied eight points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four steals, two blocks, one rebound and one assist over 25 minutes in Sunday's 119-110 win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle came within one point of tying his season high in scoring, but he was especially productive defensively against Indiana. He played a season-high 25 minutes in the win and has now recorded at least three steals in each of the last three games while totaling four blocks over the past two contests.
Jan 23, 2021
Ties season high in scoring
Thybulle tied his season high with nine points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt) in Friday's 122-110 win over the Celtics. He also chipped in four rebounds and two blocks over his 21 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle's contributions as a scorer were nice, but those depending on him in fantasy leagues are doing so mainly for his defensive production. He once again got the job done in that area Friday, and Thybulle is now averaging 2.3 steals and 1.5 blocks in 19.8 minutes over his last four games. Thybulle is unlikely to see his playing time pick up from that level, however, so he's probably best viewed as a streamer for defensive stats rather than a must-roster player.
Jan 15, 2021
Brings defense in return
Thybulle (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) returned from a three-game absence for Thursday's 125-108 win over the Heat, finishing with eight points (2-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four steals, one block and one rebound in 17 minutes off the bench.
ANALYSIS
Though Thybulle was forced into quarantine for the past several days, he never tested positive for COVID-19, so he shouldn't need much time to catch up from a conditioning standpoint. Coach Doc Rivers handed Thybulle a typical amount of minutes in his return, and the second-year wing did what he did best: racking up defensive stats. He'll likely play around 15-to-20 minutes per night for the next handful of games, though he could be one of several reserve wings whose role gets downsized a bit if top shooting guard Seth Curry (illness) is cleared to return to the lineup next week.
Jan 14, 2021
Cleared to play Thursday
Thybulle (COVID-19) is cleared to play Thursday against the Heat, Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Following a three-game absence, Thybulle will return to the court. He's seeing a reduced role this season compared to last, averaging just 2.0 points and 1.0 rebounds in 12.6 minutes.
Jan 13, 2021
Likely returning Thursday
Thybulle (COVID-19 protocols) is probable for Thursday's game against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old was previously expected to be sidelined until Saturday, but the situation has apparently shifted, and he should be back on the court Thursday. Thybulle is averaging 13.9 minutes in eight appearances this season, and he figures to return to a similar role once fully cleared for game action.
Jan 12, 2021
Likely out until at least Saturday
Philadelphia head coach Doc Rivers said that Thybulle and the other three players on the roster currently in quarantine due to the NBA's health and safety protocols (Shake Milton, Tobias Harris and Vincent Poirier) won't be available any earlier than Saturday's game at Memphis, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS
The four players entered the protocol Saturday, after all were deemed to be close contacts of Seth Curry, who tested positive for COVID-19. Though none of Thybulle, Harris, Milton and Poirier are believed to have tested positive themselves since heading into quarantine, Rivers suggested that the quartet is unlikely to receive clearance to rejoin the team until the weekend. With that in mind, Thybulle -- who sat out losses Saturday to the Nuggets and Monday to the Hawks -- will miss both of the 76ers' upcoming home games Tuesday and Thursday versus the Heat.
Jan 10, 2021
Ruled out Monday
Thybulle (COVID-19) will not play in Monday's game against the Hawks, Kyle Neubeck of Philly Voice reports.
ANALYSIS
The second-year wing will sit out at least one more game, but it's very possible he could miss more time as the league continues to assess the virus situation in Philly. To date, Thybulle has not been a fantasy consideration, as he's averaged just 13.9 minutes off the bench.
Jan 9, 2021
Ineligible against Denver
Thybulle (health and safety protocols) won't play Saturday against the Nuggets, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle was one of several players who didn't clear the league's health and safety protocols ahead of Saturday's game, and he'll be unable to play against Denver. Tyrese Maxey should see increased run in Thybulle's absence.
Jan 8, 2021
Questionable for Saturday's game
Thybulle is questionable for Saturday's game against the Nuggets due to health and safety protocols.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle has seen consistent playing time off the bench recently, but he's one of several 76ers who are questionable for Saturday's game. If he's unable to play, Tobias Harris (undisclosed) and Tyrese Maxey could see increased usage.
Jan 5, 2021
Plays 16 minutes
Thybulle had four points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four assists, two rebounds and two steals during a 118-101 win against the Hornets on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Forkan Korkmaz's thigh injury has given him more minutes off the bench in recent games. Thybulle averaged 15.3 minutes over his past four matchups and will likely continue averaging that amount until Korkmaz is healthy. Unfortunately, the sophomore's production will likely stay the same despite an increase in playing time.
Dec 29, 2020
To see bigger role with Korkmaz out
Coach Doc Rivers said that with Furkan Korkmaz (thigh) out a few weeks, Thybulle "will get a look," Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle has a promising rookie campaign from a defensive standpoint last season, collecting 1.4 steals and 0.7 blocks in just 19.8 minutes. This season, however, under new head coach Doc Rivers, Thybulle has played just 15 total minutes through three games. His role will increase for the time being, but it will be tough for him to be fantasy relevant if he can't see minutes in the mid-20s.
Dec 28, 2020
Third-year option picked up
The 76ers announced Monday that Thybulle's $2.84 million team option for 2021-22 has been exercised.
ANALYSIS
The 76ers' offseason additions of Seth Curry, Danny Green and first-round pick Tyrese Maxey have resulted in Thybulle being pushed out of the rotation to begin his second NBA campaign, but the 23-year-old is still seen as a high-impact defender in the long term. After averaging 1.4 steals and 0.7 blocks in 19.8 minutes per game as a rookie, Thybulle could have some appeal as a defensive-stats streamer if he can capture significant playing time at some point.
Dec 24, 2020
Not in rotation to begin season
Thybulle saw less than one minute of action in Wednesday's season-opening win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
It's clear that Thybulle is not in coach Doc Rivers' regular rotation to begin the year, as he entered the game for just one defensive possession late in the fourth quarter. After the game, Rivers acknowledged the situation and promised that Thybulle would eventually get an opportunity. "I mean, Matisse missed some time in camp," Rivers said. "The young fellas (Tyrese Maxey, Shake Milton) are playing great, I thought in the first half, he was terrific. Matisse will get his chance and I tell him that every day." Thybulle was perhaps the NBA's best defensive rookie last season, and he ranked near the top of the league leaderboard in steals and steals per minute.
Dec 10, 2020
Practices Thursday
Thybulle (ankle) practiced Thursday, Justin Grasso of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle had been limited in workouts due to a sprained left ankle, but he's now healthy enough to practice. It's likely he'll be available for the 76ers' preseason opener Tuesday against the Celtics.
Dec 8, 2020
Limited due to ankle injury
Thybulle was limited during Tuesday's group workout due to a sprained left ankle, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle's status for the preseason opener Dec. 15 against the Celtics is in jeopardy. During camp, he'll likely be fighting with Danny Green and Seth Curry for a starting job, assuming he can get healthy.
Aug 21, 2020
Back to bench for Game 3
Thybulle will come off the bench for Friday's Game 3 against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
After experimenting with Thybulle in the starting five and Al Horford off the bench, coach Brett Brown will revert back to the original lineup. In the series, Thybulle has totaled seven points, six rebounds, two steals, two assists and one block.
Aug 20, 2020
Limited impact as starter
Thybulle registered two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and an assist in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 128-101 Game 2 loss against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle was included in the starting five as a defensive-minded presence that could help Philadelphia slow down the likes of Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, but both players reached the 20-point mark so the rookie wasn't able to make much of an impact. With the Sixers down 0-2 in the series and Thybulle offering limited offensive upside, he could very well head back to the bench ahead of Game 3 on Friday.
Aug 19, 2020
Starting over Horford
Thybulle will start over Al Horford during Wednesday's Game 2 against the Celtics, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle played his typical defense in Game 1, racking up two steals and one block in 33 minutes. Coach Brett Brown will opt to use the rookie's talents in the starting five to help slow down the likes of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
Aug 15, 2020
Makes mark on defense
Thybulle scored seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt) while adding four steals, two blocks, two rebounds and an assist in 19 minutes off the bench during Friday's 134-96 win over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
The rookie's role has grown since Ben Simmons (knee) went down, and while Thybulle's offensive game remains a work in progress, his length and athleticism have made him an impact player on defense. Over his last five games in the Orlando bubble, Thybulle averaged 5.6 points, 3.6 boards, 2.2 steals, 1.2 blocks and 1.2 assists in 26.2 minutes.
Aug 11, 2020
In starting five
Thybulle is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Phoenix, Keith Pompey of the Philly Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
With a number of regulars out, Thybulle will get the starting nod at one of the forward spots. The rookie had two points, nine rebounds, three assists, three steals and a block in Sunday's loss to Portland.
Aug 9, 2020
Stuffs stat sheet in 33 minutes
Thybulle collected two points (1-3 FG), nine rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block in 33 minutes during Sunday's 124-121 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle led the team in rebounding and steals and matched Tobias Harris for the second-highest minutes total while chipping in across multiple categories. The rookie made a major impact on the defensive end, and the absence of Ben Simmons (kneecap) opens the door for Thybulle to step up and play a more significant role going forward.
Jul 26, 2020
Logs 19 minutes
Thybulle had two points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two steals, one block and one assist in 19 minutes during Sunday's 102-97 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle pitched in defensively as per usual but struggled with his shot and amassed three turnovers. It may be hard for Thybulle to maintain a consistent role going forward this season, as veterans Alec Burks and Glenn Robinson could get the nod come playoff time.
Mar 11, 2020
Back to bench Wednesday
Thybulle will come off the bench Wednesday against the Pistons, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
With both Josh Richardson and Joel Embiid healthy, Thybulle will return to his usual reserve role. Across his past 10 games coming off the bench, he's averaging 3.7 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 17.4 minutes.
Mar 3, 2020
Will start Tuesday
Thybulle will get the spot-start in Tuesday's tilt against the Lakers, Serena Winters of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle will replace Josh Richardson (concussion) in the starting lineup. The rookie has averaged 4.5 points and 2.2 rebounds across 26.2 minutes in 10 starts this season.
Feb 26, 2020
Logs 15 minutes versus Cleveland
Thybulle had four points (2-5 FG), two steals, one rebound and one assist in 15 minutes during Wednesday's 108-94 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle hasn't seen 20 minutes in six straight games, and he had been held scoreless in three straight prior to this one. Acquiring Alec Burks and Glenn Robinson at the trade deadline has resulted in slightly less minutes for Thybulle of late, and that trend seems somewhat likely to continue going forward.
Feb 1, 2020
Coming off bench Saturday
Thybulle will come off the bench Saturday against the Celtics, Serena Winters of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS
With Al Horford (knee) back in the starting five, Thybulle will transition back into a reserve role. When coming off the bench this season, he's averaged 5.0 points, 1.4 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.2 assists in 18.0 minutes.
Jan 30, 2020
Gets starting nod
Thybulle is starting Thursday against Atlanta, Serena Winters of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle came off the bench Tuesday against the Warriors, but with Al Horford (knee) ruled out for Thursday's clash, he'll get another chance to run with the first unit. He's averaging 6.5 points and 2.8 rebounds over his last six starts.
Jan 28, 2020
Back to bench Tuesday
Thybulle will come off the bench Tuesday against the Warriors, Serena Winters of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS
With Joel Embiid (hand) back in the starting five, Thybulle will resume his usual bench role. In 30 games as a reserve, he's averaged 5.0 points, 1.4 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.2 assists in 17.8 minutes.
Jan 26, 2020
Swipes five in 36 minutes
Thybulle tallied six points (2-6 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five steals, one rebound, one assist and one block in 36 minutes during Saturday's 108-91 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle amassed a career high in steals, swiping at least four for the fifth time through 39 appearances. Despite averaging just north of 20 minutes per game, the 22-year-old rookie is averaging a whopping 1.6 steals per contest.
Jan 15, 2020
Records four rejections, two swipes
Thybulle tallied five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four blocks, three rebounds, two steals and one assist in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 117-106 win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle got into foul trouble (five) early, picking up a couple quick whistles early in the contest. However, it didn't stop him from delivering an incredible defensive performance, including a career high in blocks. Thybulle is likely to remain inconsistent offensively, but if he keeps drawing starts while Joel Embiid (finger) is out and earns 20-plus minutes on a regular basis going forward, the defensive stats will probably continue to be prevalent.
Jan 15, 2020
Starting Wednesday
Thybulle is in the staring lineup for Wednesday's contest against Brooklyn, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie has seen his minutes increase over the past two games after returning from a knee injury which kept him sidelined for seven straight contests. Moreover, Thybulle could be in line for even more minutes Wednesday, as the forward will be making his fourth start of the season (and first since Nov. 29).
Jan 8, 2020
Expected back Thursday
Thybulle (knee) is expected to play Thursday against the Celtics, Marc Narducci of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle has missed the past seven games due to a sprained right knee, but he should be back Thursday. In December, he averaged 6.4 points, 1.7 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 rebounds in 22.2 minutes.
Jan 5, 2020
Remains out Monday
Thybulle (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Thunder, Serena Winters of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle will miss his seventh straight game due to the right knee sprain, though he was able to participate in limited portions of Sunday's practice. The 22-year-old is progressing towards his return, but he'll need to wait until at least Thursday's matchup with Boston before retaking the court.
Dec 17, 2019
Absent from injury report
Thybulle (illness) is no longer listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against Miami.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle couldn't finish Sunday's game against the Nets due to an upset stomach, but he'll be good to go for Wednesday's tilt. He's averaging 8.4 points, two rebounds and 1.8 assists over his last five contests.
Dec 8, 2019
Set to play Sunday
Thybulle (ankle) is available for Sunday's game versus the Raptors, Serena Winters of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle rolled his right ankle Saturday and was considered questionable to play the second half of the back-to-back set, but he'll be in uniform Sunday. The 22-year-old is averaging 4.0 points, 1.0 rebound, 1.2 assists and 1.4 steals in 16.0 minutes during his rookie campaign.
Dec 8, 2019
Questionable Sunday
Thybulle (ankle) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against Toronto, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle was forced to exit Saturday's game early after suffering a right ankle injury. If he's held out, Shake Milton, James Ennis and Mike Scott would all figure to see a slight boost in minutes.
Dec 7, 2019
Out with ankle injury
Thybulle rolled his right ankle and won't return to Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Thylbulle didn't score in nine minutes prior to leaving the game due to the injury. The 22-year-old should be considered questionable at best for the second half of the back-to-back Sunday against the Raptors.
Oct 7, 2019
Expected to be available
Thybulle (ankle) is expected to be available for Tuesday's preseason game against Guangzhou, Rich Hofman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Thybulle rolled his ankle during a pre-camp workout, but it no longer appears to be an issue, as coach Brett Brown told the media Monday that he expects to have a healthy roster heading into Tuesday. Thybulle, a rookie out of Washington, will have a chance to earn a role as a three-and-D option off the bench, and he carries some fantasy intrigue after putting up exceptionally gaudy steals and blocks numbers at the college level.
