Clint Capela, Onyeka Okongwu Cleared To Play Thursday
4 years agoAtlanta Hawks centers Clint Capela (heel) and Onyeka Okongwu (groin) have both been given the green light to take the floor for Thursday's game against the Thunder. Despite Okongwu being cleared, Nathan Knight is set to serve as Capela's backup, with John Collins shifting back to the power forward slot. Capela, the league's leading rebounder at 14.3 boards per contest, has snatched double-digit rebounds in 12 of his last 13 outings. With Knight leapfrogging Okongwu on the depth chart, the rookie has fallen out of season-long relevance for the time being.
