Clint Capela Has Big Night On Defense During Win Wednesday
3 years agoAtlanta Hawks center Clint Capela put on a defensive masterpiece by logging three blocks and five steals during a 124-106 over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. The Swiss center also logged his 13th double-double of the season with 11 points and 13 boards across 32 minutes. The 27-year-old shot 5-for-10 from the field and 1-for-2 from the line. Capela has had a slow start to the season, as his 11.3 points, 12.0 rebounds, 1.3 blocks, and 57.9% from the field all represent dips from last year's performance. Part of Capela's struggles can be attributed to a nagging Achilles issue that he played through last year and required a PRP injection before this season. Provided he stays on the court, Capela holds strong value, especially in leagues that reward double-doubles.
