Thu Feb 2216:19Clint Capela Back From Groin Strain
Atlanta Hawks head coach Quin Snyder says center Clint Capela (groin) will be back for Friday's game versus the Toronto Raptors, but the veteran big man will likely be on a minutes restriction. The Hawks have been without Capela since Feb. 3 due to his strained left groin, but he'll rejoin the lineup Friday. The 2020-21 rebounding champion is posting 11.5 points on 57.5% field-goal shooting, 10.6 rebounds, and 1.5 swats per game this season.

Wed Feb 1415:57Clint Capela Still Out With Groin Strain
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (groin) remains out for Wednesday's matchup against the Charlotte Hornets. Capela will miss his sixth consecutive game, but the Hawks announced on Tuesday that the veteran big man is progressing well in his rehabilitation from a strained left groin and will practice when they return from the All-Star break. Capela has nine days to recover before their next contest, coming on Feb. 23 versus the Toronto Raptors. With fill-in starter Onyeka Okongwu (toe) also sidelined on Wednesday, Atlanta could either shift Jalen Johnson to the five to open up minutes for Bogdan Bogdanovic and De'Andre Hunter, or give traditional center Bruno Fernando a spot start down low. In four career starts, Fernando has averaged just 4.8 points, 5.3 boards, 2.3 assists, and 1.2 blocks in 18.2 minutes, but he gets a Hornets team that places last in defensive efficiency (118.5) in 2023-24.

Mon Feb 1215:42Clint Capela Out Monday, Due For Re-Evaluation Soon
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (groin) is still listed as out for Monday's tilt versus the Chicago Bulls. Capela's status is worth noting because he is expected to be re-evaluated with a strained left groin before the All-Star break arrives. With that said, the Swiss big man will have one more shot to suit up this week when the Hawks head to North Carolina to face the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday. Onyeka Okongwu will man the middle in Atlanta's starting five for at least one more game, and he's been a second-round fantasy player in nine-category leagues since Jan. 30. Over his latest seven games, Okongwu is averaging 16.7 points on 70.7% shooting from the field, 8.1 rebounds, 1.9 blocks, and 1.1 treys and is a set-and-forget play in season-long leagues any time Capela is unavailable.

Sun Feb 415:31Clint Capela Out 7-10 Days
According to NBA insider Marc Stein, Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (groin) will be sidelined for up to 10 days. The 29-year-old has played as well as expected this season, averaging 11.5 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks. He suffered the injury during Saturday's win over the Warriors, so he could miss at least five games. Of course, Onyeka Okongwu will likely take his spot in the rotation. Okongwu has averaged 16.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks in three starts in 2023-24, meaning he'll be a fine addition to any fantasy lineup. There's also room for Bruno Fernando to get more work, although he's not a reliable fantasy performer.

Fri Jan 2609:57Clint Capela Could Be Sidelined Against Mavericks
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (calf) has been tagged as questionable on Friday as he's dealing with a left calf contusion. The veteran big man has been on and off the injury report but ultimately has only missed two games so far this season. As long as he's healthy, his value in points, boards, blocks, and efficiency is very high, especially for a later-round draft pick in many fantasy drafts. Capela is averaging 11.2 points, 10.4 rebounds, 1.0 assists, and 1.6 blocks per game while shooting 56.7% from the floor on 8.2 shots a night. Fantasy managers relying on that production will want to check back when tipoff approaches to see if he's upgraded to active for this contest.

Wed Jan 1018:16Clint Capela Out With Achilles Soreness
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (Achilles) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Capela will hit the seats due to soreness in his right Achilles, and it will be his first missed action since Dec. 16. The Swiss big man will target a return when Atlanta continues a five-game homestand on Friday versus the Indiana Pacers. As for Wednesday, Onyeka Okongwu should man the middle as the direct fantasy beneficiary of Capela's absence in a rather favorable matchup against a Joel Embiid-less Sixers team. In 18 games without Capela since 2022-23, Okongwu has averaged 10.7 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks in 32.6 minutes and deserves be a very popular play from a DFS perspective in an amplified role.

Wed Jan 1009:52Clint Capela Iffy For Wednesday's Matchup
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (Achilles) is questionable for Wednesday's encounter with Philadelphia. He's landed on the injury report with right Achilles soreness, which puts him in danger of missing his second game of the season. It's been a solid campaign for him, and Capela has performed well against the Sixers, averaging 16.0 points and 13.5 rebounds in two contests. He might do even better on Wednesday, with Joel Embiid (knee) on the shelf for the visitors, but the Hawks are facing a busy stretch and could decide to give the Swiss big man a break. It would be Onyeka Okongwu's chance to shine as a starter if Capela can't go.

Sat Dec 16 202316:28Clint Capela Battling Knee Soreness
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (knee) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with the Cavaliers. Capela had a monster showing in Friday's win over the Raptors, ending the night with 18 points, 15 rebounds, and three blocks. But now he's battling knee soreness, so he may sit for the second of back-to-back outings. If that's the case, Onyeka Okongwu will become a must-start in all fantasy formats.

Tue Jul 25 202315:45Mavericks Still Interested In Clint Capela And Upgrading At Center
The Dallas Mavericks are focused on upgrading at center, according to NBA Insider Marc Stein. They remain interested in trading for Clint Capela and the team isn't ruling out a sign-and-trade that involves Christian Wood. Since Wood is still a free agent, the sign-and-trade would have to be somewhere he would want to play. This also affects their newly drafted rookie, Dereck Lively II. Dynasty managers would want to monitor this situation, as he could see more of a bench role if they do bring in a veteran starting center.

Wed Jul 19 202308:47Mavericks Remain Interested In Clint Capela
According to NBA insider Marc Stein, the Dallas Mavericks remain interested in Clint Capela. Stein writes in his latest Substack post that the Mavericks are looking for a veteran center and they would like to acquire Capela from Atlanta as the third team in a potential Pascal Siakam trade. Capela's name was reportedly in trade talks between Dallas and Atlanta already last month ahead of the draft but nothing materialized. The Swiss big man has battled various injuries in recent seasons, but he's a walking double-double when healthy and would be a great addition to the Mavericks frontcourt that does look weak, with Dwight Powell the projected starter, and Richaun Holmes, Dereck Lively II and JaVale McGee behind him.

Sun Jun 25 202310:41Mavericks Wanted To Bring In Clint Capela
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela was involved in trade talks with the Dallas Mavericks ahead of this week's draft, but the two teams couldn't agree on a deal. The Mavericks were vulnerable under the rim all year last season and Capela would've been a great pick-up for the team, but when the two sides were talking about a deal involving the 10th and 15th picks, the Hawks wanted to move John Collins instead of Capela. According to NBA insider Marc Stein, Atlanta offered to package John Collins and the No. 15 pick for Davis Bertans and the No. 10 pick. Dallas asked for Capela instead of Collins, but the Hawks were only willing to agree to the trade if Dallas included Josh Green in the deals. The talks reportedly ended well before the start of the draft. The Mavericks ended up strengthening their center position with Dereck Lively II from the draft and added Richaun Holmes with a trade from Sacramento.

Sat Apr 22 202310:14Clint Capela Tallies A Double-Double In Friday's Game 3 Win
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela bagged his first double-double of the 2023 playoffs with a 10-point, 11-rebound effort in Friday's 130-122 win over the Celtics. Across 25 minutes of action, Capela also had one steal and shot 5-for-8 from the field. The Swiss big man had an awful time in the playoffs a year ago, averaging only 2.0 points with 7.5 rebounds in two games against Miami, and he has done a lot better this term with 8.7 points and 8.7 rebounds. However, there's still room for improvement for the former rebounding champion, and the Hawks definitely need more from Capela to have any hopes of pushing the Celtics all the way in the series.

Tue Apr 11 202310:12Clint Capela Good To Go On Tuesday
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (calf) isn't on the injury report for Tuesday's play-in matchup against the Heat. He was out for the regular-season finale against Boston on Sunday with right calf tightness. Capela is set to play a key role in the clash, as he will be tasked with guarding Bam Adebayo. Miami's star center has averaged only 14.3 points and 7.0 rebounds in 12 career matchups against Capela, so the Swiss big man had previously done the job very well. Capela is coming off his ninth regular season in the NBA, having averaged 12.0 points and 11.0 rebounds with 1.2 blocks.

Sat Apr 8 202322:08Clint Capela Sidelined On Sunday
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (calf) won't play on Sunday against Boston. The Hawks are focused on the play-in, so the big man will sit this one out. Onyeka Okongwu is expected to enter the starting lineup. He's averaged 10.3 points, 9.2 boards, 2.1 blocks, and 1.0 steals in 17 starts this season, so he'll draw plenty of DFS interest. However, Bruno Fernando may also see enough work to warrant fantasy consideration.

Sun Mar 26 202311:22Clint Capela Grabs A Nice Double-Double Versus Indiana
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela gobbled up 17 rebounds and completed a double-double with 17 points in Saturday's 143-130 win over the Pacers. He finished 5-for-5 from the field and almost even had a perfect record at the line, going 7-for-8. Capela, who is typically a very poor free-throw shooter, added two assists to his tally and swatted away one shot. The 28-year-old has seen his rebounding numbers drop this season, but he's still a double-double threat each time he takes the court and has finished with one in three of his past four appearances. Capela has averaged 12.0 points and 11.2 rebounds for the season overall with 1.2 blocks and 65 percent shooting.

Wed Jan 18 202318:15Clint Capela Will Remain On A Minutes Limit Wednesday
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (calf) will continue to have his minutes monitored on Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks. Capela has been in and out of the lineup all year due to a calf injury and the Hawks are taking it slow with his recovery. Onyeka Okongwu should hold the majority of the minutes at the center position with John Collins seeing a boost while Capela is still limited.

Mon Jan 16 202315:32Clint Capela Available On Monday
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (calf) is officially available for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. The big man is set to return after a 10-game absence due to a right calf issue. He's expected to be on a minutes limit, so that is going to limit his fantasy value for Monday's game. Onyeka Okongwu should head back to the second unit and lose fantasy value with Capela returning. It's a shame because Okongwu was providing top-25 value over the last two weeks. Fantasy managers should hold him for the moment, while Capela is still working his way back to full speed.

Fri Jan 13 202318:02Clint Capela Remains Without Return Date
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (calf) remains without a definitive return date, according to Lauren Williams of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The big man has missed nine games because of a calf strain, although it should be worth noting his condition continues to improve. In the meantime, Onyeka Okongwu is expected to continue to replace Capela in the lineup. The 22-year-old has averaged nearly a double-double in addition to 2.2 blocks and 1.0 steals in 13 starts this season, so he should be swiped off waivers immediately, assuming he hasn't been claimed already.

Fri Jan 13 202314:25Clint Capela Will Remain Sidelined On Friday
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (calf) will miss his ninth consecutive game due to the same calf strain. Throughout this time that he's been absent, Onyeka Okongwu has filled in and has averaged 10.9 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.0 steals, and 2.0 blocks per game. There still isn't a timetable for Capela's return so Okongwu should be the first streaming option if he's still available in any leagues. Frank Kaminsky has seen some added minutes off of the bench but he's not a great option for any fantasy formats.

Sun Jan 8 202311:36Clint Capela Still Out On Sunday
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (calf) won't play on Sunday versus the Los Angeles Clippers, marking his seventh straight absence. The 28-year-old was initially expected to miss up to two weeks because of a calf strain, which puts him in line to at least have a shot at playing on Wednesday against Milwaukee. However, it will be business as usual versus LA, with Onyeka Okongwu, who's amassed nearly a double-double in 11 starts this season, likely remaining with the first five.
