Border restrictions will keep one of the Philadelphia 76ers best defensive players off the court for Games 3 and 4 of their NBA playoff series with the Toronto Raptors.
Shooting guard Matisse Thybulle will not travel with the Sixers to Canada for the next two games of their series because he is not fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Thybulle explained on April 10 that he had one dose of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine but decided against getting a second shot, let alone a booster.
“I’m not fully vaccinated,” said Thybulle when directly asked about his vaccination status by a reporter.
