The Los Angeles Lakers agreed to a one-year, $3.3 million deal with veteran wing Matisse Thybulle, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The Athletic's Dan Woike reported Monday how "it appears that momentum has stalled" on a breakthrough with free-agent forward Jonathan Kuminga. Thybulle and Kuminga aren't carbon copies of one another, but signing the former gives L.A. less flexibility moving forward. Thybulle logged just 45 combined appearances since 2024-25, and he was a complete nonfactor in the Portland Trail Blazers' first-round playoff series against the San Antonio Spurs. The move isn't without some risk, though, and Thybulle's historic shooting struggles could force coach JJ Redick to adapt in a playoff series.
