Matisse Thybulle

Thybulle was available to make his season debut on Wednesday after missing time with an ankle injury but did not see any action. Blazers coach Chauncey Billups stuck with a nine-man rotation, with Kris Murray (three points, two rebounds and four steals) playing 15 minutes off the bench. Even if Thybulle enters the rotation, he's unlikely to impact fantasy basketball this season.

Thybulle has finally recovered from the knee and ankle injuries he suffered last year. It's unclear how much he'll play in his first game back but fantasy managers should expect Portland to ease him into things. He's likely not worth adding at this point in the season.

Thybulle hasn't been available to suit up for a game yet this season, but there is a chance he makes his debut against New York. It has been almost a full calendar year since Thybulle played, so he will likely be on a strict minutes restriction for the rest of this season. It will be great to see him back on the floor, but he isn't a player to consider rostering in fantasy basketball.

Thybulle, who has been out with a sprained right ankle, has not appeared in a game this season. While the progression to 3-on-3 is positive, Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups said Friday that Thybulle does not have a timeline for his return and has not been cleared for 5-on-5. His eventual return is unlikely to significantly impact fantasy basketball, especially with Thybulle's minutes likely to be limited in his first few games back.
