Following the diagnosis, he was ruled out for 3-4 weeks, meaning the 2024-25 regular season is likely over for Capela.

Wed Feb 5 | 11:02 | Clint Capela Remains Sidelined On Wednesday Against San Antonio |
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (back) will remain seated for Wednesday's matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. He has been dealing with back spasms and was sidelined for the Hawks' three-game road trip. Capela's next chance to suit up for the Atlanta Hawks will be in Friday's home game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Also, Capela has drawn trade interest from multiple teams, one of them being the Chicago Bulls. The Hawks had reportedly contacted the Chicago Bulls about a potential Capela and Nikola Vucevic swap. Capela has averaged 9.4 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists this season. He recently lost his starting spot in Atlanta to Onyeka Okongwu, and that has made him expendable. Okongwu should remain in the starting lineup in Capela's absence. |

Thu Jan 23 | 13:12 | Clint Capela Ruled Out Thursday |
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (knee) will not play Thursday night when the Hawks finish their back-to-back at home against the Raptors.

Capela had a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds, in 21 minutes on Wednesday but will sit out Thursday due to right knee soreness. Without Capela, Okongwu will take as many minutes as possible in a great matchup against the Raptors, while Dominick Barlow will serve as his backup after being recalled from the G League earlier this week. Barlow has only appeared in seven games this season, averaging 4.2 minutes per game and never playing more than eight minutes in any performance. |

However, his injury doesn't sound too bad, so he could still be ready for next week's season opener against Brooklyn. Capela has been a walking double-double throughout his NBA career and should continue in the same vein in 2024-25. After sitting out Wednesday's game, Cody Zeller (rest) could slide into the lineup as Capela's replacement on Thursday versus Oklahoma City. |

Mon Jun 24 2024 | 16:26 | Hawks Looking To Deal Away Clint Capela |
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela has been named as a potential trade piece for the last few seasons and this offseason is no different. According to Kevin O'Connor from the Ringer, the Hawks are shopping Capela along with almost every other player on the roster aside from Jalen Johnson. After getting the number-one overall pick in this year's draft, the Hawks have a lot of options that allow them to get some assets back for Capela. One team that may come calling is the Los Angeles Lakers who seem to be looking for a center so that Anthony Davis can play power forward. The 30-year-old big man has been a constant force on the boards over the last seven seasons as he's averaged double-digit rebounds in each season during that span. In his four years with the Hawks, Capela averaged 12.3 points, 11.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 1.5 blocks per game. |

According to NBA insider Marc Stein, Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela is "likely bound for the trade market" with a year remaining on his contract. The Swiss big man, who has just turned 30, will be carrying a $22.3 million expiring contract next season. The Pelicans and Rockets are seen as potential landing spots for Capela after the Mavericks also showed big interest in him at the trade deadline.

While splitting time with Onyeka Okongwu, Capela posted 11.5 points and 10.6 rebounds with 1.5 blocks across 25.8 minutes this term.

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela will be in the lineup on Friday against Minnesota. He was initially listed as questionable for the game, as Atlanta considered resting Capela, but the Swiss big man has been upgraded to available. However, the Hawks have nothing left to play for, so Capela's role could be limited in Friday's contest. It's a tough matchup for him as well against a team that boasts a strong frontcourt. |
