Matisse Thybulle Joins Lakers Roster After Season With Portland
newsroom · just nowMatisse Thybulle enters training camp with the Los Angeles Lakers wearing No. 4, a year removed from a 30-game run with Portland. He is not on the injury report. The 2026-27 opener is still ahead, so the numbers below are all from last season.
Who Is Matisse Thybulle
Matisse Thybulle is a 29-year-old guard-forward out of Washington, now in his seventh NBA season. He stands 6-5 and weighs 202 pounds. He joins the Lakers roster for 2026-27 after spending last season with Portland. He wears No. 4 for Los Angeles. His game is built on the defensive end, with steal numbers that stand out even in a limited role. The Lakers add him as a wing piece who can guard multiple positions and space the floor a bit with his 3-point shot.
Last Season By The Numbers
In 2025-26, his last season, Thybulle played 30 games for Portland, averaging 16.0 minutes, 5.8 points, 2.0 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.5 blocks. He shot 43.3 percent from the field, 39.8 percent from 3-point range and 84.0 percent from the free-throw line, with a true shooting mark of 60.0 percent. His usage rate sat at 14.4, and his plus-minus was 2.9. The steal total is the headline number: 2.0 per game in a bench role points to real defensive impact even with modest scoring.
Injury Report
Thybulle is not on the injury report heading into the 2026-27 season. There is no injury history listed for him. For a defensive-minded wing who relies on quickness and length to generate deflections and steals, staying off the injury list matters, since that activity level is central to what he brings on the floor. Right now there is nothing to track on that front, and the focus shifts to how he fits into the Lakers' rotation once camp and preseason games get underway.
What He Brings To The Lakers
The Lakers are adding a specialist. Thybulle's calling card is defense, and his 2.0 steals per game last season back that up. On offense, his role has been limited, 5.8 points and 14.4 usage, but efficient: 39.8 percent from 3-point range and a 60.0 true shooting mark show he can hit an open look when the ball finds him. At 6-5 with a 7-year track record, he slots in as a role player who can defend guards and forwards and space the floor in stretches, rather than a primary scoring option.
Looking Ahead To 2026-27
The 2026-27 season has not started, so there is no game log yet for Thybulle in a Lakers uniform. The numbers available are from last season with Portland: 30 games, 16.0 minutes, 5.8 points, 2.0 steals. With no injuries reported, he heads into the opener as an available piece for the Lakers' wing rotation. How his minutes shake out will depend on how the coaching staff uses his defensive skill set once the games begin.
