Clint Capela Fantasy Stats

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (knee) will play in Saturday's rematch with the Raptors. The veteran didn't suit up when the Hawks and Raptors met on Thursday because of right knee soreness, his first absence of the 2024-25 campaign. But after carrying a questionable designation, he's good to go. Capela was recently bumped from the starting lineup in favor of Onyeka Okongwu. However, with Jalen Johnson (shoulder), De'Andre Hunter (illness), and Zaccharie Risacher (hamstring) sidelined, Capela could see more minutes than usual from off the bench.

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (knee) won't play on Thursday versus Toronto. The veteran has had issues staying healthy over the years. However, he will miss just his first game of the 2024-25 campaign because of a sore knee. Capela recently lost his starting job to Onyeka Okongwu, so his value has dropped for fantasy managers. But until he can return, Dominick Barlow may see some minutes from off the bench, although he has a way to go before earning a place in fantasy lineups.

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (knee) will not play Thursday night when the Hawks finish their back-to-back at home against the Raptors. Capela has come off the bench in the last two games since Onyeka Okongwu moved into the starting lineup. Capela had a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds, in 21 minutes on Wednesday but will sit out Thursday due to right knee soreness. Without Capela, Okongwu will take as many minutes as possible in a great matchup against the Raptors, while Dominick Barlow will serve as his backup after being recalled from the G League earlier this week. Barlow has only appeared in seven games this season, averaging 4.2 minutes per game and never playing more than eight minutes in any performance.

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (ankle) has been given the green light to play in Wednesday's season opener against Brooklyn. Capela sustained an ankle injury late in preseason, but he isn't on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game. Capela averaged a double-double against the Nets last season with 10.3 points and 10.8 rebounds. He also recorded 2.3 blocks across four head-to-head meetings. The Swiss big man will share the center minutes with Onyeka Okongwu for another campaign. Okongwu logged 7.0 points and 9.5 rebounds against Brooklyn last term.

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela was limited to only seven minutes in Wednesday's preseason matchup against Miami, exiting the game with right ankle soreness. The Swiss big man tallied three points and three rebounds before his premature exit. Atlanta is already without Onyeka Okongwu (toe), making Capela's loss a bitter blow. However, his injury doesn't sound too bad, so he could still be ready for next week's season opener against Brooklyn. Capela has been a walking double-double throughout his NBA career and should continue in the same vein in 2024-25. After sitting out Wednesday's game, Cody Zeller (rest) could slide into the lineup as Capela's replacement on Thursday versus Oklahoma City.

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela has been the center of trade rumors for a few years now, and after the team received the No. 1 overall pick, the rumor mill heated up. According to Ian Begley, the New York Knicks are one of the teams that called and checked in on Capela and what the Hawks' asking price would be after they lost Isaiah Hartenstein in free agency. The big hoop to jump through for the Knicks to acquire the big man is the $22.3 million price tag. To make the money work, they'd have to trade a rotational piece. Capela averaged 11.5 points, 10.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1.5 blocks per game last year across 73 games.

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela has been named as a potential trade piece for the last few seasons and this offseason is no different. According to Kevin O'Connor from the Ringer, the Hawks are shopping Capela along with almost every other player on the roster aside from Jalen Johnson. After getting the number-one overall pick in this year's draft, the Hawks have a lot of options that allow them to get some assets back for Capela. One team that may come calling is the Los Angeles Lakers who seem to be looking for a center so that Anthony Davis can play power forward. The 30-year-old big man has been a constant force on the boards over the last seven seasons as he's averaged double-digit rebounds in each season during that span. In his four years with the Hawks, Capela averaged 12.3 points, 11.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 1.5 blocks per game.

According to NBA insider Marc Stein, Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela is "likely bound for the trade market" with a year remaining on his contract. The Swiss big man, who has just turned 30, will be carrying a $22.3 million expiring contract next season. The Pelicans and Rockets are seen as potential landing spots for Capela after the Mavericks also showed big interest in him at the trade deadline. Capela has proven himself as a very capable center in the Association, averaging a double-double for seven consecutive seasons. While splitting time with Onyeka Okongwu, Capela posted 11.5 points and 10.6 rebounds with 1.5 blocks across 25.8 minutes this term. His exit from Atlanta could provide a big boost to Okongwu's fantasy stock.

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela will be in the lineup on Friday against Minnesota. He was initially listed as questionable for the game, as Atlanta considered resting Capela, but the Swiss big man has been upgraded to available. However, the Hawks have nothing left to play for, so Capela's role could be limited in Friday's contest. It's a tough matchup for him as well against a team that boasts a strong frontcourt.

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (rest) has been listed as questionable against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday due to rest. As of Friday, the Hawks are locked into the play-in tournament and they're two games behind the Chicago Bulls for the ninth seed. If they give Capela a rest day, it seems like the team is okay with heading into the play-in as the tenth seed with the most difficult road to the postseason. If Capela plays, he'd be a solid DFS option as his price tag would be on the cheaper side, but if he's sidelined, Bruno Fernando would be the main streaming option.
