Clint Capela Will Not Play On Thursday
2 hours agoAtlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (back) has been ruled out for a second consecutive game as the team gears up to face the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday night. Due to back spasms, Capela was a late scratch for Tuesday's contest against the Houston Rockets, and he hasn't recovered in time for Thursday's game. Larry Nance Jr. returned to the rotation on Tuesday, posting six points with a pair of rebounds and steals in 20 minutes off the bench. Mouhamed Gueye, who started at power forward against the Rockets, will also help cover some of the minutes at the five position behind starting center Onyeka Okongwu.
