Clint Capela has an honest assessment of the Hawks' season-long struggles: 'I'm not so shocked' "Maybe we don't prepare ourselves well enough for every game," the Atlanta big man told The Athletic.
Tatum scores 38, Celtics rally past Hawks for 8th win in row
Jayson Tatum scored 38 points and led a third-quarter surge that sent the Boston Celtics past the Atlanta Hawks 105-95 for their eighth straight winFEBRUARY 13, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Double-doubles in Friday's loss Capela chipped in 13 points (6-6 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds and one block across 21 minutes during Friday's 136-121 loss to San Antonio.
Impact Capela recorded his first double-double since early January, a stat that reveals where his game is at right now. His playing time has been drastically reduced, likely as a result of his ongoing injury concerns. While he isn't dealing with a specific injury, the Hawks are seemingly trying to manage him through to ensure he is available for the postseason, should they still be in contention. The limited minutes do put a cap on his fantasy upside, but he still warrants a roster spot due to his ability to rack up boards and blocks while scoring efficiently from the floor.

Young has 34 as Hawks crush trade-depleted Pacers, 133-112

Grabs 12 boards in victory Capela racked up six points (2-4 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one block across 25 minutes during Thursday's 124-115 victory over the Suns.
Impact Capela continued to be passive on the offensive end of the floor but did salvage his evening with 12 boards. His playing time also continues to hover around the mid-20s, a number that fantasy managers would love to see increase. Surprisingly, both teams opted to play a decent amount of small-ball in this one, despite the fact they are laden with traditional bigs. John Collins suffered a shoulder injury late in the fourth quarter, and if he does miss any time, there could be a few more minutes available for both Capela and Onyeka Okongwu.

Back in starting five Capela will start Sunday's game against the Hornets, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Impact Capela made his return to action from an ankle injury Friday against Miami and saw 26 minutes of action off the bench, finishing with six points, six rebounds and two assists in 26 minutes. While he'll remain on a minutes restriction Sunday, he'll move back into the starting five, while Onyeka Okongwu shifts to the bench.

Remains on minutes restriction Capela will have a minutes restriction for Sunday's game against the Hornets, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact Capela returned from a six-game absence Friday against the Heat and played 26 minutes off the bench, and it appears he'll have a similar workload for Sunday's contest. He should again split work at center with Onyeka Okongwu, who played 25 minutes Friday as the starter.

Splits minutes with Okongwu Capela (ankle) posted six points (3-3 FG), six rebounds and two assists Friday in the Hawks' 110-108 win over the Heat.
Impact For the first time all season, Capela made an appearance off the bench as the Hawks looked to ease him back into the mix following a six-game absence. Onyeka Okongwu retained the starting job, but he essentially split the center minutes with Capela, logging 25 to the latter's 26. Expect the gap between the two to become larger once Capela has a chance to fully regain conditioning, and there's a good chance that the 27-year-old recaptures his familiar starting role as soon as Sunday's game in Charlotte.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Impact As expected, Capela will miss a sixth straight game with a left ankle sprain.

Impact Schlenk reiterated that Capela's sprained left ankle isn't a long-term injury, but based on the GM's comments, the Hawks will likely remain without their starting center for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves. The Hawks will conclude their four-game week with a pair of matchups Friday (versus Miami) and Sunday (at Charlotte), so it's possible Capela could be available for either or both of those contests. Onyeka Okongwu is expected to pick up another start Wednesday while Capela misses a sixth consecutive contest.
