Portland Trail Blazers forward Matisse Thybulle is ready to resume his career in Rip City.
Thybulle, 26, signed a three-year, $33 million contract for the Dallas Mavericks, but as a restricted free agent, the Portland Trail Blazers had the chance to match the offer, which they did.
Now, Thybulle, who was acquired via trade in February from the Philadelphia 76ers, will call Portland his home for the foreseeable future.
“I got here and immediately stepped into a bigger role than I’d ever had. It was an opportunity to showcase more,” Thybulle said at today’s press conference via Sean Highkin.
