Daily News | Former Sixer Matisse Thybulle on his Garage Fishtown mural, love for Philly, and impending free agency
The City of Brotherly Love has been everything to Matisse Thybulle, who is now back in town with the Portland Trail Blazers to face the 76ers for the first time on Friday night at the Wells Fargo Center.
Thybulle is not upset that someone later defaced the mural with paint, leading Garage Fishtown to take it down. The Boston Celtics acquired Thybulle with the 20th pick in the 2019 NBA draft. The Sixers sent the Celtics the Nos. 24 and 33 picks in exchange for Thybulle, who they promised to draft. As a result, he’s been in Philly for 3 ½ seasons, and he still has love for the city.
“That’s the thought behind it,” Portland coach Chauncey Billups said of trading for him."He’s the type of guy that we like, that’s going to compete on the defensive end and is going to play a selfless game on the offensive end. And he’s just a winning spirit.”The Blazers are close to his hometown of Seattle. Portland and the Dallas Mavericks were the final two teams in the mix to acquire Thybulle and were among teams that wanted to sign him to his next deal.
