Clint Capela (heel) will not make Hawks debut on Friday
Atlanta Hawks forward/center Clint Capela (heel) will not make his team debut on Friday against the Boston Celtics.
What It Means:
Capela was acquired by the Hawks from the Houston Rockets ahead of the trade deadline, but he's still dealing with a heel issue that has kept him out since the end of last month. The Hawks also acquired Dewayne Dedmon in a separate trade, but it's not clear if he will be available on Friday. Bruno Fernando (left calf strain) is doubtful, so Damian Jones could be in line for a busy workload.
Capela averaged 38.7 FanDuel points over 39 games for the Rockets. numberFire's models project him for 11.9 points, 9.0 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.8 steals, and 1.5 blocks for the Hawks over the rest of the season.
