Hawks' Clint Capela (adductor) cleared for Friday return
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (left adductor strain) will play on Friday against the Toronto Raptors, per head coach Quin Snyder.
What It Means:
Capela is ready to return after missing the Hawks' last six games before the break. The Hawks will likely keep Capela on a minutes restriction following the long layoff, but he should still replace Bruno Fernando as the starting center. Snyder also said Onyeka Okongwu (left big toe sprain) will be out for "the foreseeable future," so Fernando will be the primary backup.
numberFire's models project Capela for 24.4 minutes and 26.7 FanDuel points on Friday. He averaged 32.2 minutes and 40.8 FanDuel points in three previous matchups with the Raptors this season.
