The revenge between the Bulls and the Sixers loses its interest over the hours since the Philadelphia medical staff announced that Matisse Thybulle was placed in isolation to follow the health protocol linked to Covid-19. The Sixers’ best interceptor and blocker joins Tobias Harris and Isaiah Joe in solitary confinement, and Doc Rivers was not surprised when he heard the news, although it annoys him.
“We knew it was going to happen …” admitted the coach of Philly about Thybulle, considered as a contact case. “We thought it would happen, although frankly, we didn’t think we were going through it. But it’s like that. Frankly, I think it was preventable. I am not satisfied with this decision, but it is like that, and we have to live with it. That’s what I repeat to the guys … Even protesting, we have to live with it, and we are paying the price tonight. “
The good news is that two players could make a comeback. They are Danny Green and Furkan Korkmaz, both present at the shootaround this Saturday. The two are still uncertain, and if they were to forfeit, Rivers would only have eight players in gear to face the Bulls.
