July 20 (UPI) -- The Los Angeles Lakers agreed to a 1-year, $3.3 million contract with free agent wing Matisse Thybulle.
Sources told ESPN, The Athletic and New York Post about the agreement Monday. The guard/forward is a two-time All-Defense Team selection. He also made nearly 40% of his 3-point attempts last season for the Portland Trail Blazers.
Thybulle, 29, totaled 5.8 points, 2.0 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 0.9 assists per game over 30 appearances in 2025-26. The 6-foot-5, 202-pound guard/forward averaged 5.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.1 assists per game over the first 377 appearances of his career.
He made 34.9% of his 3-point attempts over that span.
