Free agent forward Matisse Thybulle has agreed on a one-year, $3.3 million deal to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers, sources told ESPN.
Thybulle, a two-time All-Defensive team member, spoke with JJ Redick and Luka Doncic about the Lakers’ desire to sign him and his role during free agency and chose the opportunity in an effort to beef up the team’s wing defense.
Thybulle shot 41.8% from the 3-point line over the past two seasons while appearing in 45 total games. He also led the NBA in steals and deflections per 36 minutes last season among players to play at least 20 games, per ESPN Research.
