Rockets' Clint Capela (leg) to be sidelined for 4-to-6 weeks
Houston Rockets center Clint Capela has suffered a broken fibula, and is expected to be sidelined for 4-to-6 weeks.
What It Means:
Houston will reportedly look into possibly trading for another center to help fill in during Capela's absence, but at the moment Nene and Montrezl Harrell stand to both see big increases in playing time.
Capela had been playing very well to start the year, ranking second among Rockets players and 32nd overall with a 2.4 nERD. He is also leading the Rockets in both total rebound rate (18.3 percent) and block rate (5.2 percent), while his .625 true shooting percentage is the second-best mark among Rockets with 50-plus field goal attempts on the season.
