Rookie Matisse Thybulle appears to be a lock to be part of Philly's opening night rotation. He had four steals and two blocks in 25 minutes tonight, and also knocked down a 3 (with a decent-looking stroke). Sixers look like they landed a bargain with the 23rd pick in June's NBA Draft.
Anthony Davis said he went through the Lakers' full practice with a light wrap around his sprained right thumb and hopes to play against Golden State on Wednesday. Head coach Frank Vogel said Davis and the medical staff will determine if Davis plays after seeing how he feels overnight and before game. Davis is listed as day-to-day.
Blake Griffin (hamstring), Andre Drummond (rest) and Markieff Morris (bronchitis) will all sit tonight for the Pistons. Means no Embiid-Drummond matchup tonight.
The Sixers are starting Josh Richardson, Matisse Thybulle, Furkan Korkmaz, Tobias Harris and Joel Embiid tonight. Ben Simmons (back), James Ennis (calf) and Al Horford (rest) are all sitting out.
