76ers' Matisse Thybulle: Removed from report

Thybulle (shoulder) is not on the Sixers' injury report ahead of Wednesday's matchup with the Pelicans, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philly reports.

A sore shoulder kept Thybulle on the shelf for the final week of the preseason, but he was back at practice Sunday and has been cleared to play in Wednesday's opener. On the whole, the defensive specialist is not an overly valuable asset in most season-long fantasy leagues, but his per-minute steal and block rates are certainly intriguing. The 6-foot-5 wing closed last season averaging 1.6 steals and 1.1 blocks in just 20.0 minutes per contest, but he added only 3.9 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.0 assists while shooting 42.0 percent from the field, 30.1 percent from three and 44.4 percent at the charity stripe.
