Capela (hand) agreed to a three-year, $21.5 million deal with the Rockets on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Capela will return to Houston, where he spent the first six years of his career. However, he's expected to compete for minutes with Steven Adams behind Alperen Sengun. Over 55 regular-season outings (41 starts) with Atlanta in 2024-25, Capela averaged 8.9 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.0 blocks across 21.4 minutes per game. The veteran big man missed the Hawks' final 17 regular-season games due to a sprained left hand but is expected to be ready for training camp.

Capela (hand) won't play in Friday's Play-In Game versus the Heat, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Capela hasn't played since March 10 due to a sprained left hand. Onyeka Okongwu will continue to start in his absence. Atlanta will have to advance past Miami in the Play-In Tournament to give Capela another chance at suiting up this season.

Capela (hand) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Magic, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Capela will miss an 18th straight game for the Hawks due to a sprained left hand. Atlanta will continue to turn to Onyeka Okongwu, Dominick Barlow and Mouhamed Gueye to shoulder the load at the center position to begin the Play-In Tournament on Tuesday.

Capela underwent an MRI on Monday that revealed a ligament injury in the fourth metacarpal of his left hand, and he is slated to be re-evaluated in 3-to-4 weeks, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear when Capela sustained the injury, though he has missed the club's last four games due to what the club labeled as personal reasons. The big man is unlikely to suit up for the remainder of the regular season based on his timetable, meaning Dominick Barlow could see a bump in minutes behind Onyeka Okongwu moving forward. If Capela's season ends up being cut short, he'll finish with averages of 8.9 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.0 blocks and 0.6 steals across 21.4 minutes per game in 55 regular-season appearances.

Capela (personal) is questionable to play Friday against the Clippers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Capela also missed Wednesday's game due to personal reasons, and is in danger of missing Friday's as well. Capela has been a valuable member of the bench ever since being relegated to the second unit Jan. 20, averaging 7.6 points, 7.3 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.9 blocks and 0.6 steals over 17.4 minutes. However, if he can't go, expect Dominick Barlow to see extended run backing up Onyeka Okongwu.

Capela has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets due to personal reasons, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Capela is slated to miss his first game since the All-Star break. He's played more than 20 minutes only once over his last 10 appearances. Still, in Capela's absence, Dominick Barlow is a candidate for a bigger reserve role behind Onyeka Okongwu.

Capela totaled 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 16 minutes in Monday's 132-130 win over the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Capela had a solid impact on offense Monday, scoring in double figures for the first time since returning from a back injury Jan. 28. The 30-year-old had been the unquestioned starting center for the Hawks from 2020 through the first 41 games this season, but he's taken a back seat to Onyeka Okongwu. In 10 games coming off the bench, Capela is averaging 8.1 points and 7.1 rebounds in 17.4 minutes.
