Impact The 76ers were able to keep this under wraps for almost the entire season, but some red flags were raised when Thybulle was listed as "ineligible" for a game at Toronto this past Thursday. With the fourth-seeded Sixers now locked into a first-round matchup against the fifth-seeded Raptors, Thybulle will be unavailable for games at Toronto, barring a change in his vaccination status. As the higher seed, Philly will get Games 1, 2, 5 and 7 at home, but Thybulle projects to be ineligible for Games 3, 4 and 6, should the series extend that far.

Listed ineligible for Thursday Thybulle is listed as ineligible for Thursday's game at Toronto.

Impact This is an interesting development for the 76ers, as it appears -- although it's not confirmed -- that Thybulle is not able to play in Toronto due to his vaccination status. For just this one game, not having Thybulle available isn't the end of the world, but the Raptors and Sixers could potentially match up in Round 1 of the playoffs. If that were to happen, Thybulle would not be able to play in any road games throughout the series.
