Clint Capela News, Rumors, Updates - Atlanta Hawks

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.

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.

Records double-double Saturday Capela had 20 points (8-11 FG, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 30 minutes during Saturday's 125-119 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Capela had a tough battle with Jaren Jackson down low, but the veteran big man still posted a solid fantasy showing and notched his 13th double-double of the season. Capela is on pace to average a double-double for the seventh season in a row, a mark that outlines his elite consistency levels, and that also makes him a reliable fantasy asset across all formats.

DECEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Big double-double in return Capela chipped in 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-3 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal across 28 minutes during Monday's 130-124 victory over the Pistons.

Impact Capela missed Saturday's loss to Cleveland due to knee soreness, but he didn't miss a beat Monday, posting his third consecutive appearance with a double-double. Capela has been locked into a 30-minute role of late, even logging stretches in two-big lineups alongside Onyeka Okongwu.

Will play Monday Capela (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Capela was diagnosed with a bone bruise in his left knee after undergoing an MRI on Sunday, but the issue won't prevent him from suiting up after missing Saturday's loss to Cleveland. Over his last 13 appearances, Capela has averaged 13.1 points, 11.2 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.2 assists in 26.5 minutes per game.

Diagnosed with bone bruise Capela has been diagnosed with a left knee bone bruise after undergoing an MRI on Sunday.

Impact Capela missed Saturday's game due to knee soreness and underwent an MRI on Sunday that revealed a left knee bone bruise. Capela is considered day-to-day and is still listed as questionable for tomorrow's game against the Pistons.

Questionable for Monday Capela (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pistons, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Capela missed his first game of the season Saturday, allowing Onyeka Okongwu to start at center. The extent of Capela's injury remains unclear, but he can be considered a game-time call ahead of Monday's 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff.

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Cavaliers Capela (knee) will not play in Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact This will be the first missed game of the season for Capela. Atlanta's starting center played 35 minutes Friday, so that may have factored into the decision. With Capela out, we're likely to see Onyeka Okongwu slide to center which will open things up for Saddiq Bey in the frontcourt. Bruno Fernando could also see some rotation minutes for Atlanta.

Iffy for Saturday Capela is questionable for Saturday's game against Cleveland due to left knee soreness, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Capela is at risk of missing his first game of 2023 on Saturday with left knee soreness. Considering Capela played 35 minutes Friday, it wouldn't be all too surprising to see him get the night off for the tail end of the back-to-back set. If that ends up being the case, expect Onyeka Okongwu to slide into the starting lineup while Bruno Fernando could see more work off the bench.

Double-double in loss Capela racked up 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-4 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists and one block over 30 minutes during Friday's 125-114 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Capela had his work cut out for him as he squared off against reigning MVP Joel Embiid. Capela was able to notch his second double-double in three games and scored in double digits for the fourth time in five games as Trae Young missed Friday's contest with an illness.

DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs 17 boards, swats three shots Capela registered 10 points (4-13 FG, 2-2 FT), 17 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal in 30 minutes during Saturday's 132-121 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Capela struggled badly from the field, but he's not expected to carry the offense on a regular basis, and he still found a way to deliver value with his energy on the glass and active rim protection. Capela's scoring numbers have been pedestrian at best, as he has failed to score more than 14 points in five straight games, but he should remain a valuable fantasy asset if he keeps crashing the ball and protecting the rim as he's done it all season long.

DECEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Comes close to double-double Capela racked up 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two blocks and two steals across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 128-105 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Capela ended just one board shy of posting what would've been his fourth double-double over his last six outings, and the veteran big man continues to be a two-way threat while maintaining his place as Atlanta's starting center. Onyeka Okongwu has shown he could be in line for more minutes sooner than later, but until that happens, Capela will continue to have value in fantasy as an above-average rebounder and finisher near the rim. He's averaging 10.6 points and 9.5 rebounds per game in November.

Season high in boards Wednesday Capela amassed 14 points (7-8 FG), 15 rebounds and three blocks across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 147-145 overtime victory over the Nets.

Impact The 15 boards were a season high for Capela, who delivered his second double-double in the last three games and sixth in 14 contests. The veteran center remains a trade candidate with Onyeka Okongwu on the depth chart behind him, but Capela isn't doing anything to hurt his market value, and his 1.7 blocks a game is his best performance in that category since 2020-21.
