Matisse Thybulle falls hard back-first
During the 3rd quarter, Matisse Thybulle stole the ball after deflecting it off an attempted pass from Dennis Schroder. Thybulle ran with it for a wide-open dunk and he nailed it. As he hung on to the rim after the dunk, his momentum caused him to lose the grip of the rim and he fell hard back-first onto the ground. Dennis Schroder, who was running behind Thybulle, may have had an unintentional role in the fall too.
Matisse Thybulle’s hustle makes him one of the most valuable pieces on the Sixers roster. He is known for playing stellar defense, having also made All-NBA defensive team last season. He is averaging a career-high 1.1 blocks per game and 1.7 steals per game.
