The Lakers have signed forward Matisse Thybulle to a one-year, $3.3-million contract, according to people familiar with the deal but not authorized to speak publicly told The Times Monday.
Thybulle, who spent last season playing for the Portland Trail Blazers, made the NBA’s All-Defensive team twice over his seven-year career. He is a defensive wing player that the Lakers sought to surround Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves.
Thybulle averaged 5.8 points per game last season and shot 43.3 percent from the field, 39.8 percent from three-point range, in 30 games.
The Lakers now have a 16-man roster. They’ll have to either trade or waive a player to be at the league maximum number of players at 15.
