Clint Capela Questionable For Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (Achilles) is considered questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies. Capela has yet to miss a game as he deals with a sore left Achilles, though the team could opt to play it safe on the second night of a back-to-back. If Capela is out, Onyeka Okongwu and Bruno […]
