Hawks' Clint Capela dealing with short-term ankle injury
Atlanta Hawks forward/center Clint Capela's injury is not a long-term concern, according to general manager Travis Schlenk.
What It Means:
Schlenk said the Hawks are hopeful that Capela will be able to return to the lineup by this weekend. Onyeka Okongwu should draw another start at center on Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Okongwu is averaging 27.6 minutes and 25.1 FanDuel points per game over the last five contests without Capela. The Timberwolves are allowing the seventh-most FanDuel points per game to the center position this season.
