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) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Clippers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Capela will miss his second consecutive contest due to personal reasons. His next chance to play will come Sunday against Brooklyn. Dominick Barlow and Mouhamed Gueye are candidates for an uptick in playing time due to Capela being sidelined.

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.

Capela had three points (1-6 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block in 18 minutes during Thursday's 114-108 loss to Orlando.

EDGE Analysis

Capela returned to action Thursday following a nine-game absence due to a back injury. He'll likely continue to come off the bench for the Hawks while Onyeka Okongwu serves as Atlanta's starting center. Capela has averaged 8.4 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.1 blocks over 20.6 minutes per game since the beginning of January.

Capela (back) has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

After missing nine straight games with a back issue, Capela will return to the floor Thursday against Orlando. The veteran big man's return to the Hawks' lineup will be a massive boost in the frontcourt. He's averaging nearly a double-double with 9.4 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 blocks per game, shooting 57.3 percent from the floor.

Capela (back) will be inactive for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Quin Snyder says Capela is ramping up and will continue to do so through the All-Star break following an extended absence with back spasms, which surprisingly rules the veteran big man out Wednesday despite having been omitted from Atlanta's injury report. His next chance to play comes Feb. 20 against the Magic. Onyeka Okongwu will hang on to enhanced fantasy value for at least one more game, as he's averaged 13.7 points, 8.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks in 28.6 minutes over nine games with Capela unavailable this season.
