sitting out due to a trade request, it took a mid-season blockbuster to make them whole.

Now, with the playoffs at hand, they are once again dealing with the absence of a key player.

Defensive star Matisse Thybulle will be ineligible to play in at least Games 3 and 4 of Philadelphia's

first-round series against the Toronto Raptors, 76ers coach Doc Rivers confirmed on Sunday.

Road players must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19,meaning two weeks removed from either the second dose

of a two-shot vaccine or the first shot of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine,

to be eligible to enter Canada. Depending on the schedule of the series,

[{ "selector": ".gpvyr-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 501px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

it could theoretically be possible for Thybulle to receive the Johnson & Johnson vaccine

[{ "selector": ".ciopa-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 505px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

in time for Game 6, but it does not seem as though he was planning to do so.
