The 76ers placed Thybulle in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols Friday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thybulle is now the third member of the 76ers to enter the NBA's protocol, and he'll remain out for Saturday's game against the Bulls along with Isaiah Joe and Tobias Harris. Both Harris and Joe are believed to have tested positive for the virus, while Thybulle appears to be viewed as a close contact of Joe due to the proximity of their lockers in the Sixers' dressing room. Thybulle had previously been filling in for Harris as the team's starting power forward, but the 76ers will likely have to go small at the position with one of Danny Green (hamstring) and Furkan Korkmaz (wrist), who are listed as questionable for Saturday's contest.
