Sixers should keep Matisse Thybulle in starting lineup during Joel Embiid's absence

It didn't take Matisse Thybulle long to look like his usual disruptive self after coming back from injury. After a bone bruise and right knee sprain sidelined him for two weeks, he's swiftly returned to form over the last four games.

Thybulle's best performance since returning came on Wednesday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Brett Brown trusted him to start in Mike Scott's place as the Philadelphia 76ers continued without Joel Embiid, who has now been cleared for non-contact conditioning drills and will be re-evaluated in a week.
