Hawks' Clint Capela: Available on minutes limit
Rotowire
Capela (ankle) is available on a minutes limit for Friday's matchup against the Heat, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
The Hawks will ease the center back into a normal workload following a six-game absence. As a result, Onyeka Okongwu should still be viable in fantasy Friday, but his role will presumably take a hit moving forward.

Hawks' Clint Capela: Goes through shootaround
Rotowire

Capela has missed six straight games due to a sprained left ankle and is officially listed as questionable for Friday's contest. If the 27-year-old can suit up, it wouldn't be surprising to see him on a minutes restriction during his first game back in action.

Hawks' Clint Capela: Eyeing weekend return
Rotowire
Hawks general manager Travis Schlenk said Tuesday that he's hopeful Capela (ankle) will be able to rejoin the lineup by the weekend, Mike Conti of the Atlanta Hawks Radio Network reports.
Schlenk reiterated that Capela's sprained left ankle isn't a long-term injury, but based on the GM's comments, the Hawks will likely remain without their starting center for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves. The Hawks will conclude their four-game week with a pair of matchups Friday (versus Miami) and Sunday (at Charlotte), so it's possible Capela could be available for either or both of those contests. Onyeka Okongwu is expected to pick up another start Wednesday while Capela misses a sixth consecutive contest.

Rotowire
Capela (ankle) didn't practice Tuesday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Capela left Friday's loss to the Lakers after suffering an ankle injury. He was then sidelined for Sunday's contest against the Clippers after showing no improvements.

With Capela sidelined, Onyeka Okongwu has totaled 21 points and 17 rebounds over the last two games and would likely draw another start at center if Capela is is unable to suit up Wednesday.

Hawks' Clint Capela: Registers another double-double
Rotowire
Capela amassed 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-4 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 108-102 win over Sacramento.
Capela led all players in rebounding in the contest and scored just enough to finish with his fourth straight double-double. The veteran center was a drag from the free-throw line, but his fantasy managers have come to expect that, as he is shooting just 47.8 percent from the charity stripe this season. That number is tempered by the fact that he is taking just 2.6 free-throws per game, and Capela's 11.9 points, 13.1 boards, 1.5 blocks and 57.4 percent field-goal rate make him a solid producer of big-man stats in fantasy.
Capela had 22 points (10-10 FG, 2-5 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist in 32 minutes during Monday's 136-131 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Trae Young was the star for Atlanta with 56 points and 14 dimes in the loss, but Capela impressed as well with his perfect 10-for-10 shooting effort from the field. The big man added to the efficient offensive production with 11 boards to finish with his third straight double-double. Capela is averaging 19.3 points and 16.3 rebounds over the three-game stretch.
