Plays just 20 minutes Capela provided eight points (4-9 FG, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 20 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Impact Capela played 20 minutes compared to Onyeka Okongwu, and it doesn't help his case that he was severely outplayed as well. Despite holding onto the starting role, his minutes have suffered in recent games, as he's played 22 or fewer minutes in four of his last five outings.

Turns back clock Saturday Capela ended Saturday's 125-113 loss to the Bulls with 20 points (8-14 FG, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one block in 26 minutes.
Impact Capela was one of the best two-way centers in the league during his prime years, and he turned the clock back a few years with this strong showing Saturday. This was the first time Capela reached the 20-point plateau this season, and he also finished just one board shy of recording what would've been his second double-double. Onyeka Okongwu could end up being the long-term answer at center for the Hawks, but Capela will remain in the starting unit if he manages to perform at this rate on a regular basis.

Struggles massively Monday Capela produced two points (1-3 FG), five rebounds and one assist over 17 minutes during Monday's 123-93 loss to Boston.
Impact Capela had another woeful showing, and it's fair to wonder for how long he'll remain in the starting unit, as Onyeka Okongwu has outplayed him almost in every game this season. Capela has had a few decent performances this season, but he only has one double-double through eight appearances while averaging a modest 8.9 points and 6.5 rebounds across 22.5 minutes per game in a starting role.

Perfect from field Monday Capela closed Monday's 121-119 loss to Washington with 16 points (6-6 FG, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 25 minutes.
Impact Capela had been outplayed by Onyeka Okongwu (toe) in recent games, but with the latter sidelined Monday, Capela stated his case to continue in a starting role Monday. The veteran big man displayed an efficient touch near the rim and also made his mark defensively. Capela is not expected to record the numbers he used to deliver in his prime years with Houston, but he remains a serviceable fantasy alternative who can threaten with a double-double every time he steps on the court.

With first unit Wednesday Capela is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's season opener versus Brooklyn, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Impact Capela tended to an ankle sprain throughout preseason, but his workload is not expected to be limited Wednesday. Onyeka Okongwu has done little to prove he is deserving of usurping Capela in the Hawks' starting lineup, although the bigs could function in a timeshare if development is prioritized in Atlanta.

Good to go against Brooklyn Capela (ankle) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Nets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Impact Capela sat out Atlanta's preseason finale due to ankle soreness but is available for the team's regular-season opener Wednesday. The 30-year-old center averaged 11.5 points, 10.6 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 1.2 assists in 25.8 minutes across 73 regular-season appearances last season.

Inactive vs. OKC Capela (ankle) won't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Thunder, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Impact Capela was pulled from Wednesday's exhibition against the Heat with ankle soreness and the team won't take any chances of making the injury worse by playing him Thursday in a meaningless preseason game. Onyeka Okongwu should see plenty of action with Capela, Larry Nance (rest), Cody Zeller (undisclosed) and Dominick Barlow (undisclosed) all out.

Exits preseason game with injury Capela will not return to Wednesday's preseason game against the Heat due to right ankle soreness, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network
Impact Capela will finish the contest with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds across seven minutes. The Hawks' final preseason game comes Thursday and it wouldn't be surprising to see the Hawks give Capela the night off.

Near double-double vs. 76ers Capela tallied 10 points (5-8 FG), nine rebounds, three assists and one block over 21 minutes during Monday's 104-89 preseason loss to the 76ers.
Impact Capela has been one rebound shy of registering a double-double in each of his two preseason outings. The 2014 first-round pick should hoard the boards during the 2024-25 regular season as he serves as the Hawks' defensive anchor. During the 2023-24 campaign, Capela averaged 11.5 points on 57.1 percent shooting, 10.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.5 blocks over 25.8 minutes per game across 73 regular-season contests.

Set to play against Chicago Capela (rest) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Bulls.
Impact Capela will return to action Wednesday after sitting out Atlanta's regular-season finale for rest purposes. The 29-year-old big man should reclaim his starting spot from Bruno Fernando. Capela is averaging 12.0 points, 11.1 rebounds, 1.8 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 steals in 28.6 minutes across his past 10 appearances.

Out Sunday Capela (rest) is inactive for Sunday's game against Indiana, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Impact Capela will look to be as fresh as possible for Wednesday's Play-In Tournament matchup against Chicago. Atlanta appears willing to wave the white flag for Sunday's matchup despite an Indiana win effectively removing the Pacers from risk of slipping into the Play-In Tournament.

Questionable to play Sunday Capela is questionable to play Sunday against the Pacers due to rest, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Impact The Hawks know they'll be facing the Bulls in the first round of the Play-In Tournament, and it seems they're not willing to risk Capela in the final game of the regular season in order to have him fresh for what should be a battle against Nikola Vucevic. Capela has recorded four double-doubles over his last seven appearances, a span in which he's averaging 12.1 points and 11.4 rebounds per contest.

Records double-double Friday Capela accumulated 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Friday's 109-106 loss to the Timberwolves.
Impact Capela had the daunting task of dealing with Rudy Gobert on both ends of the court, and while his final stat line was not eye-popping, he was efficient en route to yet another double-double, as he missed just two shots from the field. Capela has recorded four double-doubles over his last seven appearances, a span in which he's averaging 12.1 points and 11.4 rebounds per contest.

Gets green light Capela (rest) is available for Friday's game against the Timberwolves, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Impact The Hawks were considering holding Capela out of Friday's action, but the team ultimately decided he'll be available to suit up. It's unclear if he'll shoulder his usual workload with only a few games remaining in the regular season.

Questionable for Friday Capela (rest) is questionable for Friday's game against the Timberwolves, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact With only two games left in the regular season, a maintenance day is on the table for Capela. If Atlanta holds their starting center out, Bruno Fernando could see a lot of run against the Timberwolves and would be on the streaming radar.

Grabs 11 rebounds Tuesday Capela amassed six points (3-8 FG), 11 rebounds and two assists over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 117-111 double-overtime loss to Miami.
Impact Capela didn't have a good shooting performance and was particularly inefficient from the field, but the big man salvaged his fantasy outing by recording double-digit boards for the fifth straight contest -- and for the 15th time over his last 17 appearances. Capela is averaging 12.5 points and 11.9 rebounds per game during that 17-game stretch, and he should remain a capable two-way threat for Atlanta even if he has an off night from a scoring perspective from time to time.
APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE
Leads with 19-point double-double Capela finished with 19 points (5-6 FG, 9-12 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Saturday's 142-110 loss to the Nuggets.
Impact Capela was surprisingly the highest scorer in the blowout loss, and the big man renewed a double-double streak after posting only six points in his last outing against Dallas. Capela's numbers have dropped in his 10th season, but he's still a productive member of the starting five. The Hawks will need excellent frontcourt support from Capela as they try to overtake the Bulls for ninth place in the Eastern Conference.
APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE
Grabs 13 boards Thursday Capela posted six points (3-7 FG, 0-2 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Thursday's 109-95 loss to the Mavericks.
Impact Capela registered double-digit rebounds for the third game in a row Thursday, but he also committed five of Atlanta's 21 turnovers, which tied a season high. His six points were his lowest since Feb. 25 as his streak of double-digit scoring ended at 14 games. Since the All-Star break, Capela is averaging 11.1 points on 55.0 percent shooting, 10.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.5 blocks over 25.5 minutes per game.
