Coming off bench Friday Capela isn't starting Friday's game against Miami, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Impact Capela will be available following a six-game absence due to an ankle injury, but he'll have a minutes restriction during his first game back on the court. Onyeka Okongwu will draw his third consecutive start Friday.

JANUARY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starting again Friday Okongwu is starting Friday's game against the Heat, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Impact Although Clint Capela will be available to return Friday, he'll be on a minutes restriction against Miami, which will allow Okongwu to continue to see a slight uptick in playing time. Across his last two starts, the 21-year-old averaged 14.5 points and 7.5 rebounds in 35.0 minutes per game.

Won't play Friday Gallinari (Achilles) is out Friday against the Heat, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.

Impact Gallinari was a game-time decision for Friday's matchup but will be held out due to right Achilles soreness. De'Andre Hunter, Kevin Knox and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot should see increased work in his absence.

JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Available vs. Heat Dieng (illness) will be available for Friday's matchup against the Heat, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Impact With Clint Capela back from a six-game absence, Dieng's role will presumably be reduced heavily, though with Capela on a minutes limit Friday, Dieng could still see some run. He'll be competing with Onyeka Okongwu for backup minutes.

JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Available on minutes limit Capela (ankle) is available on a minutes limit for Friday's matchup against the Heat, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact The Hawks will ease the center back into a normal workload following a six-game absence. As a result, Onyeka Okongwu should still be viable in fantasy Friday, but his role will presumably take a hit moving forward.

JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Goes through shootaround Capela (ankle) went through Friday's morning shootaround and will be a game-time decision against the Heat, Kelly Crull of Bally Sports South reports.

Impact Capela has missed six straight games due to a sprained left ankle and is officially listed as questionable for Friday's contest. If the 27-year-old can suit up, it wouldn't be surprising to see him on a minutes restriction during his first game back in action.

Will be game-time decision Gallinari (Achilles) will be a game-time decision against the Heat after not participating in Friday's morning shootaround, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution rep...

Impact Gallinari is officially listed as questionable. However, he drew the same designation ahead of the Hawks' Jan. 15 matchup with the Knicks and was still able to score 17 points across 27 minutes, so barring a setback, he'll likely be able to play through the right Achilles soreness again. Nonetheless, if he is a late scratch, more minutes should be available for Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot.

JANUARY 21, 2022

Questionable vs. Heat Gallinari is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Heat due to right Achilles soreness.

Impact Gallinari is in danger of missing Friday's game after a streak of nine straight appearances. He's scored in double figures in each of the past four games. If he sits out, more minutes should be available for Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot.

JANUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable against Miami Dieng is questionable for Friday's game against Miami due to a non-COVID illness, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.

Impact Dieng has played a minimal role across the last two games, as he's totaled an assist and a block in four minutes during that time. If his illness prevents him from suiting up Friday, his absence shouldn't significantly impact Atlanta's rotation.

JANUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out Friday Bogdanovic (knee) is out Friday against the Heat.

Impact Bogdanovic didn't practice Thursday, so his absence isn't too surprising. His next chance to play arrives Sunday against the Hornets.

Questionable Friday Capela (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against Miami, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.

Impact Capela has been unavailable for the last six games due to a sprained left ankle, but he'll have a chance to return to the court Friday. If the 27-year-old is able to suit up, it wouldn't be surprising to see him on a minutes restriction during his first game back in action.

Goes to G League The Hawks transferred Cooper to the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Thursday.

Impact Since he was cleared to play Jan. 12 after suffering a minor ankle sprain, Cooper has made just one two-minute appearance off the Atlanta bench. The rookie point guard should get the chance to play extended minutes for College Park in its game Friday against the G League Ignite.

JANUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to G League The Hawks assigned Johnson to the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Thursday.

Impact Johnson appears to be healthy after recently missing time with a left ankle sprain, but he has yet to leave the Atlanta bench in the NBA team's two games since he was removed from the injury report. The rookie first-round pick should get the chance to play extended minutes for College Park on Friday when the Skyhawks host the G League Ignite.

Doesn't practice Thursday Bogdanovic (knee) didn't participate in Thursday's practice session, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Bogdanovic has missed the last three games due to a sore right knee, but the team has been hopeful that the 29-year-old will return this weekend. His absence from Thursday's practice isn't encouraging, but his status for Friday's game against Miami hasn't yet been revealed.
