Out at least one week Capela (knee) suffered no structural damage but will be out for at least a week, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Capela avoided a severe injury, but it seems unlikely he'll be able to return before Game 4 against the Heat, and it's not clear if he'll be available at any point in the series. In his absence, second-year center Onyeka Okongwu and veteran floor-spacer Gorgui Dieng will see an uptick in workload. John Collins (finger, foot) was also upgraded to questionable ahead of Game 1.
