Sixers vets aren't thrilled with Matisse Thybulle's food order

Share

When you’ve won two games in a row — including a win without your best player over a rival — everything is better.

You sleep better. The air seems fresher. Food tastes better … as long as the rookie doesn’t screw up the team's order.

Unfortunately, for the Sixers’ Matisse Thybulle, that was the case. His veteran teammates weren’t too thrilled about the biscuit-to-player ratio on their way to Dallas for a game against the Mavericks Saturday.

This is from Tobias Harris’ Instagram story, but Kyle O’Quinn definitely steals the show by offering people a bite of his biscuit. 

Thybulle is Harris’ rookie and the veteran forward has taken the 22-year-old under his wing. It was Harris who kept the rookie mentally sharp while he missed seven games with a knee injury.

The pair sit next to each other on the team plane and share a mutual respect.

Aside from being an amazing example, he’s just been like a big brother,” Thybulle said in early December. “We sit next to each other on every flight and he’s constantly giving me advice. I seek him for all my questions — whether it’s financially, on the court, off the court, I go to him. He’s done it at a very high level for a while now, and I really look up to him in that sense. He’s been able to be a huge role model for me.

It's nothing but love and respect, but Thybulle is still a rookie — and Harris reminds him of that.

And this isn’t the first time Harris has exposed Thybulle’s hijinks.

After a miserable couple weeks, the Sixers appear to be having fun again.
