Rockets' Clint Capela (orbital fracture) ruled out for next two games
Houston Rockets center Clint Capela will not play in the team's next two games, reports Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle.
What It Means:
Capela suffered a right orbital fracture during the third quarter of Monday's game. He didn't notice the injury at the time, but it will keep him from traveling with the team for either of the next two contests. In his stead, Nene will likely start with Tarik Black backing him up. Ryan Anderson might also play some center as well.
Averaging 14.2 points, 11.2 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game, Capela is projected for averages of 11.7 points, 8.4 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game over the remainder of the 2017-18 season.
