Clint Capela News, Rumors, Updates - Atlanta Hawks

Double-doubles with two swats Capela notched 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-7 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 26 minutes during Monday's 113-101 victory over the Bulls.

Impact This was Capela's sixth double-double over his last seven contests, and the veteran big man has been playing well over the previous few weeks. Capela is making his presence felt on both ends of the court and seeing an uptick in his scoring figures compared to earlier in the season. He's averaging 12.6 points and 11.1 rebounds per game since the beginning of March.

Records another double-double Capela accumulated 13 points (5-5 FG, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and four steals in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 120-106 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Capela posted his fourth consecutive double-double, and the veteran big man has now reached that tally in nine of his last 10 appearances, showing an excellent understanding with Dejounte Murray and also being a standout presence on the defensive end. Capela will aim to keep that streak alive when hosting the Celtics on Thursday.

MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE

Double-double in Thursday's loss Capela registered 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 25 minutes during Thursday's 128-115 loss to Phoenix.

Impact The veteran center has yet to pull down fewer than nine rebounds in a game in March, averaging 12.6 points, 11.4 boards, 2.1 assists and 1.0 blocks over the last 10 contests while shooting 55.1 percent from the floor. Capela is up to 30 double-doubles on the season, the fourth straight campaign he's reached that mark and the sixth time in his career.

2023-24 NBA Rookie of the Year odds: Wembanyama becomes even bigger favorite

Extends double-double streak Capela amassed 15 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 26 minutes during Sunday's 110-93 win over the Clippers.

Impact Capela registered his fifth consecutive double-double in the victory, continuing a very productive month. Over eight games in March, Capela has averaged 12.9 points, 11.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists.

MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE

Fourth straight double-double Capela had 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 32 minutes during Friday's 124-122 loss to the Jazz.

Impact The veteran center put together his fourth straight double-double and 28th of the season. Capela needed about a week after the All-Star break to get back up to speed following a six-game absence due to an adductor strain, but over his last seven contests he's averaging 12.6 points, 11.7 boards and 2.3 assists while shooting 55.2 percent from the floor. Friday's game was the first time during that stretch he recorded multiple blocks, however.

MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE

Records double-double in loss Capela posted 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-5 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and two steals in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 106-102 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Capela was active on both ends of the court en route to his third consecutive double-double, and he's now achieved that feat in four of his six appearances this month. Capela might be experiencing a decrease in both numbers and usage rate, but he's still on pace to average a double-double for the seventh straight season, which speaks volumes of his consistency.

MARCH 14 • ROTOWIRE

Solid performance in win over NY Capela notched 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one block in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 116-100 win over the Knicks.

Impact Capela might not be the automatic double-double machine he was during his prime years, but he remains a player capable of making things happen on both ends of the court. The veteran big man is averaging just 8.2 points, 8.7 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game since the end of the All-Star break, and while those numbers are borderline when it comes to a starting gig in fantasy, he will continue to hold value as long as he remains a starter for the Hawks.

MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE

Records double-double Saturday Capela finished Saturday's 114-102 loss to the Nets with 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 24 minutes.

Impact Capela hasn't received too many touches on offense of late, which is not surprising considering he's often sharing the court with Dejounte Murray, Jalen Johnson and Saddiq Bey, but the veteran big man made the most of his chances in this one. He scored in double digits -- and recorded a double-double -- for the first time since Feb. 3, and there's a chance this performance is exactly what he needs to stop the cold streak he was riding since returning from injury.

B/R Proposes New Clint Capela Trade Idea For The Summer Will the Hawks make big trades this summer?

MARCH 1 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Grabs seven boards in return Capela (adductor) tallied five points (1-4 FG, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block in 19 minutes Friday in the Hawks' 123-121 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Capela took back his spot in the starting five Friday after he had missed the Hawks' final six games before the All-Star break with a left adductor strain, but he was on a minutes limit in his return to action. Though his production was somewhat suppressed as a result of the playing-time restriction, Capela should eventually get ramped up to a near-30-minute-role while the Hawks are without Onyeka Okongwu (toe) for the foreseeable future. Bruno Fernando (11 minutes Friday) should remain part of the Hawks' rotation, but he doesn't present as much of a threat to Capela's playing time as Okongwu had prior to suffering a left big toe sprain.

FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Officially starting Capela (adductor) is officially starting at center in Friday's matchup with the Raptors, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Capela is set to return to the court following a six-game absence that led into the All-Star break. The 29-year-old will replace Bruno Fernando in the starting lineup. However, given how long he has been sidelined, the big man is expected to be on a minutes restriction per Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Will play on minutes restriction Capela (adductor) is available for Friday's game versus the Raptors but will likely operate under a minutes restriction, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution repo...

Impact Capela will return to action Friday after missing Atlanta's last six contests due to a left adductor strain. The 29-year-old center will likely reclaim his starting spot from Bruno Fernando, with Onyeka Okongwu (toe) out for the foreseeable future. However, Capela is expected to play less than his season average of 25.7 minutes.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return before All-Star break Capela (groin) is out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Capela will remain sidelined for Atlanta's final game prior to the All-Star break. The team expects Capela to begin practicing following All-Star weekend, which is an important development in the context of Onyeka Okongwu (toe) now dealing with an injury as well.

FEBRUARY 4 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Out at least one week Capela was diagnosed with a left adductor strain following an MRI on Sunday and is scheduled to be re-evaluated in 7-to-10 days.

Impact Though Atlanta provided no indication that Capela was playing through an injury in Saturday's 141-134 overtime win over the Warriors, he reportedly experienced discomfort late in the victory and was sent in for further testing Sunday. With the MRI revealing the adductor injury, Capela will now be sidelined for at least Atlanta's next four games before the team updates his status. Onyeka Okongwu will presumably step in as the Hawks' starting center in the interim and should be viewed as a must-roster option in nearly every format with the likelihood that he'll take on a 30-plus-minute role.

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Big double-double Saturday Capela posted 17 points (8-11 FG, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes during Saturday's 141-134 overtime win over Golden State.

Impact Capela posted his 11th game with at least 15 points, while Saturday also marked his seventh game with at least 15 rebounds this season. Capela has been sharp lately, delivering 15.0 points and 12.8 rebounds on 63.6 percent shooting in 24.5 minutes per game across his last four contests.

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Another double-double Tuesday Capela finished with 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 138-122 victory over the Lakers.

Impact The veteran center is doing what he can to improve his market value if the Hawks decide to get busy at the trade deadline. Capela has five double-doubles in the last nine games and has pulled down fewer than eight boards only once during that stretch, averaging 11.6 points, 10.2 rebounds and 1.4 blocks while shooting 56.8 percent from the floor.

JANUARY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Top rebounder in double-double game Capela notched 19 points (9-13 FG, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds and one block over 28 minutes in Sunday's 126-125 win over Toronto

Impact Capela led all players in Sunday's contest in rebounds while ending as one of five Hawks with 15 or more points in a double-double showcase. Capela has tallied a double-double in 20 games this season, including in four straight outings.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Friday Capela (calf) is available for Friday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Capela will shake off a questionable tag and suit up Friday despite a calf issue. He has notched a double-double in back-to-back games and averaged 10.3 points, 9.7 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in 23.8 minutes per game over his last six appearances.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Capela is questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks due to a left calf contusion, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Capela has posted double-doubles in his last two appearances, but he's dealing with a calf issue ahead of Friday's matchup. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available, but Onyeka Okongwu and Bruno Fernando (back) are candidates to see increased run if Cappella is sidelined.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Posts double-double in loss Capela chipped in 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 22 minutes during Monday's 122-107 loss to the Kings.

Impact Capela had a productive night despite logging seven fewer minutes then Onyeka Okongwu, who had nine rebounds of his own. The veteran is less likely to explode for a big night with Okongwu in the second unit, and the platoon situation caps the fantasy value of both players.

JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs 11 rebounds Friday Capela ended with nine points (2-4 FG, 5-7 FT), 11 rebounds and one block in 22 minutes during Friday's 109-108 victory over Miami.

Impact Capela didn't have many touches on offense and struggled to make an impact, though he also had a tough task in dealing with Bam Adebayo on both ends of the court. The 11 rebounds were a nice haul for managers who have him rostered in category-based leagues, but other than that, Capela hasn't been producing at his best of late. He's averaging just 9.0 points and 7.6 rebounds per game across his last five appearances.
