Clint Capela Sidelined with Back Spasms for Hawks

Clint Capela of the Atlanta Hawks has been ruled out for upcoming games due to back spasms and is also dealing with a personal matter. His status is uncertain as he has missed a total of 8 games this season, averaging 9.4 points and 9.0 rebounds in the 44 games he has played. The Hawks have performed better in games without him, averaging 118.4 points compared to 116.0 points with him on the court. Capela has recorded notable performances this season, including multiple games where he finished in the top 5 for rebounds and fantasy points. The team will allow him the necessary time to address his personal issue, with Onyeka Okongwu expected to take on a larger role in his absence. His recent absence adds to ongoing concerns regarding his health and availability for the remainder of the season.
