Matisse Thybulle's availability due to being unvaccinated began as a variable that many believed could swing the outcome of the Sixers’ postseason. It became a bit of an afterthought, and then a legitimate weakness Monday night against the Raptors.
A particularly ruthless crowd at the Wells Fargo Center broke into a sarcastic cheer late in the third quarter of Monday’s Game 5 of the 76ers’ first-round playoff series against the Toronto Raptors, when Georges Niang rose from the bench to replace Matisse Thybulle.
He received a smattering of boos when he checked in for the first time in the opening quarter. Though the box score says Thybulle connected on one of his six shots while Toronto deliberately left him wide open, his only recorded make was actually inadvertently tipped in by a Raptor after he missed a corner three-pointer.
When asked a more general question about a Sixers bench unit that went 3-for-13 from the floor Monday, Rivers only mentioned Thybulle’s rough night.
