Matisse Thybulle Impresses Defensively in Lakers Training Camp

Matisse Thybulle is making a strong early impression at Los Angeles Lakers training camp, earning praise for his disruptive defense while guarding Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves. After battling thumb, knee, and ankle injuries over the past two seasons in Portland, the two-time All-Defensive selection is fully healthy. Signed to a one-year, $3.2 million contract, Thybulle is currently competing for one of two vacant starting spots under head coach JJ Redick.
