Another double-double Saturday Capela chipped in 14 points (7-9 FG) and 15 rebounds over 33 minutes during Saturday's 121-109 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Capela racked up his third straight double-double in the loss, continuing what has been a dominant stretch on the glass. He now has at least 14 rebounds in four of his past five games, putting to rest any fears in regard to Onyeka Okongwu coming for his starting spot. While Capela isn't the dominant shot blocker he once was, he is still swatting a respectable 1.5 shots per game.

Capela also contributed early on offense, racking up eight first-quarter points and finishing the first half with 12 on a perfect 5-of-5 shooting from the field. The Hawks big man has now recorded double-digit rebounds in five straight contests while grabbing at least 19 boards in three of his last four.

Impact Capela was a monster on the boards Wednesday night, matching a season-high with 19 rebounds, including seven in the first quarter. He added another eight boards in the third quarter while also going 4-of-5 from the field in the second half for eight points. It was Capela's second 19-rebound game in his last three contests, while he also recorded his fourth double-double of the season on Wednesday.

Owns glass with double-digit rebound mark Capela chipped in five points (2-7 FG, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, one block and one steal across 22 minutes during Monday's 117-98 victory over the Bucks.

Impact Capela once again led Atlanta on the glass despite playing only 22 minutes. Capela has hauled in 10 or more rebounds in seven of his 10 games this season, having done so in three straight outings.

Monster night on glass Capela racked up 21 points (10-15 FG, 1-2 FT), 19 rebounds, one assist, four blocks and one steal over 35 minutes during Saturday's 124-121 overtime win over New Orleans.

Impact Capela turned in a strong shooting line and his best rebounding total of the young season, nearly doubling his previous best of 11 boards. Saturday was just the first time this season he's attempted more than 10 field goals, so it would be unwise to expect regular 20-point performances from the big man moving forward.

Posts double-double in loss Capela registered 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 29 minutes during Saturday's 123-115 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Capela has grabbed at least 10 rebounds in each of his last four contests, but he only has two double-doubles to show for it since he's been struggling massively on the offensive end of the court. The big man has yet to score 15 points in a game, and while he remains a decent fantasy asset in most formats, the lack of a consistent offensive output certainly hinders his upside.

Impact Capela grabbed six boards in the first quarter en route to posting his first double-double of the season. He had scored just 10 points combined in the first two games before Sunday's 14-point outburst. The 28-year-old is averaging 8.0 points and 8.3 rebounds through the first three contests and is seeking his sixth straight season averaging a double-double.

Cleared for opener Capela (thumb) is available for Wednesday's season opener against the Rockets.

Impact A sprained thumb won't keep Capela out for the start of the year. He's starting at center again this season, but the development of Onyeka Okongwu has the potential to cut into Capela's minutes.

Practicing Monday Capela (thumb) participated in Monday's practice session, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Impact Capela was held out of Friday's preseason finale against the Pelicans due to a right thumb sprain, but his return to practice is a good sign as the Hawks prepare for Wednesday's season opener against the Rockets. His official status will be determined when the team releases its injury report, but it looks like Capela is on track to be available for Opening Night.

Remains out Friday Capela (thumb) will not play in Friday's preseason game against the Pelicans, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.

Impact Capela exited Wednesday's game versus the Cavaliers with a thumb sprain. Hawks coach Nate McMillan said there was no long-term concern, but his thumb is still sore. Capela will likely be available for the Hawks' regular-season opener Oct. 19 versus the Rockets, but updates early next week will confirm his status.

Impact Although the game is already deep into the fourth quarter, Capela is officially ruled out for the remainder of the contest with a thumb sprain. The center posted eight points, 15 rebounds and four blocks in 23 minutes before exiting. Capela will presumably be tabbed day-to-day leading up to the team's final preseason game Friday versus New Orleans.
