Out for personal reasons Capela (personal) is out for Friday's game against the Bucks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Impact After missing five straight games due to a back injury, Capela is now being listed as out for Friday due to personal reasons. The veteran big man will aim to rejoin the team on the second leg of Atlanta's back-to-back, which comes Saturday in Washington. Onyeka Okongwu should continue delivering enhanced fantasy value from the Hawks' starting lineup, as he's averaging 15.7 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks in 29.1 minutes over six games where Capela has been unavailable this season.

Not on road trip with team Capela (back) is reportedly not with the Hawks during their current road trip, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Impact Capela not being with Atlanta during their road trip is concerning news for the team, which is already dealing with some injuries, especially with Jalen Johnson (shoulder) recently being ruled out for the rest of the season. Due to this latest development, Larry Nance, Dominick Barlow and Mouhamed Gueye could see an increased workload in the frontcourt behind Onyeka Okongwu.

Impact Capela has been playing off the bench after Onyeka Okongwu was promoted to a starting role, but the veteran big man has found a way to remain productive. In his two outings with the second unit, Capela has racked up 28 points, 19 rebounds and four blocks in 41 total minutes.

Coming off bench Capela will come off the bench Monday against the Knicks, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Impact With Onyeka Okongwu in the midst of the best stretch of his career, this move was inevitable. Capela played 21 minutes or fewer in his last three games, and his fantasy upside could be limited going forward with the Hawks giving Okongwu more playing time.

Records double-double in loss Capela closed Thursday's 123-115 loss to the Suns with 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 26 minutes.
Impact Capela and Onyeka Okongwu continued their timeshare at center, but Capela had the better total over his teammate in the loss. The veteran was mentioned consistently as a trade target in the offseason, but the Hawks would be very thin inside if they dealt him now, and Okongwu sometimes struggles when given the starting nod.

Bounces back Tuesday Capela ended Tuesday's 124-121 victory over the Jazz with 18 points (9-11 FG), six rebounds and three blocks over 25 minutes.
Impact Capela was efficient from the floor and posted his highest scoring output since Nov. 22, when he finished with 21 points and 11 rebounds in a loss to the Bulls. That said, this was the first time he eclipsed the 10-point mark in January and just the third time he had done it over his last 10 games. He remains valuable in fantasy, but there's no doubt his upside is not what it once was.
