PHILADELPHIA–The Philadelphia 76ers made an adjustment to the starting lineup on Saturday afternoon as they moved veteran Danny Green back into the starting lineup over Matisse Thybulle. Over the past few months, it has been Thybulle as he has started 49 games on the season and Saturday was only Green’s 27th.
This is the second straight game Green has started, Thybulle was ineligible to play in Toronto on Thursday, and it worked out. Green had 15 points and knocked down four triples in a 133-120 win over the Indiana Pacers on Saturday.
Afterward, coach Doc Rivers explained why he started Green.
