Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (hand) will remain sidelined for Friday's play-in finale against the Miami Heat. The veteran big man has been out since March 10 with a left hand injury, and it remains uncertain when Capela can return to the lineup. Atlanta will continue to lean on Onyeka Okongwu in the middle. In the matchup against the Heat this season, Okongwu has averaged 15.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 1.7 steals per game.
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (hand) will miss his 18th consecutive game on Tuesday against the Orlando Magic. The Swiss big man is still recovering from a hand injury that kept him out for the final month of the regular season. When Capela was diagnosed with a ligament injury in the fourth metacarpal of his left hand, Atlanta announced that he would be re-evaluated in 3-4 weeks. However, there have been no further updates.

Clint Capela Absent For An Eighth Consecutive Game
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (finger) will miss an eighth consecutive game on Thursday against the Miami Heat. After initially missing time for personal reasons, Capela was diagnosed with a ligament injury in the fourth metacarpal of his left hand. Following the diagnosis, he was ruled out for 3-4 weeks, meaning the 2024-25 regular season is likely over for Capela. It has been a disappointing campaign for the Swiss big man, who lost his starting job to Onyeka Okongwu in January. Okongwu has thrived in the role, averaging 14.8 points, 9.8 rebounds, 1.1 blocks, and 1.2 steals. Dominick Barlow and Mouhamed Gueye will take on the backup minutes with Capela unavailable.

He could be helpful to boost some stats in deep category leagues.

The 30-year-old is set to miss his first contest since the All-Star break. Capela's absence won't impact fantasy much this evening, as he's played under 20 minutes in five of his last six outings. Dominick Barlow is Onyeka Okongwu and will likely take on extra minutes for the team's frontcourt against Charlotte.
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (back) will be available for Thursday's matchup against the Orlando Magic. Capela has yet to play this month after dealing with back issues. He disappeared from the injury report before the All-Star break but was inactive for a couple of games. On Wednesday, Hawks head coach Quin Snyder said that he believes Capela will be available against Orlando, but it remains to be seen if he gets any action. Onyeka Okongwu took over the starting job at center on Jan. 20. With Larry Nance Jr. (knee) on the shelf, minutes have opened up for a backup big.

Clint Capela Remains Sidelined On Wednesday Against San Antonio
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (back) will remain seated for Wednesday's matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. He has been dealing with back spasms and was sidelined for the Hawks' three-game road trip. Capela's next chance to suit up for the Atlanta Hawks will be in Friday's home game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Capela has averaged 9.4 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists this season. He recently lost his starting spot in Atlanta to Onyeka Okongwu, and that has made him expendable. Okongwu should remain in the starting lineup in Capela's absence.

However, the versatile veteran hasn't been very impactful, averaging 3.3 points and 3.7 rebounds in 18.3 minutes over the past four games.
