Matisse Thybulle’s defense is back in top form

Matisse Thybulle got off to a tough start this season. The Philadelphia 76ers’ second-year wing missed a lot of training camp with an ankle injury, and later missed three games in early January due to health and safety protocols following Seth Curry’s positive COVID-19 test. Understandably, Thybulle wasn’t at his best to begin the season. He displayed the same weaknesses on offense while making a few too many defensive mistakes, from overly aggressive fouls to unnecessary gambles that took him out of position.

Offensively, Thybulle is essentially still the same (although his somewhat heightened instincts and activity as a cutter has been an early positive).
