Amidst trade rumors, Clint Capela likely out “a while” with heel injury

It’s a rough go for Clint Capela right now. As Jeremy posted earlier, he’s currently the topic of some heavy trade rumors, with Adrian Wojnarowski (as good a source there is) reporting that the Houston Rockets were talking to several Eastern Conference teams about a trade for the Swiss big man, most prominently the Atlanta Hawks, and now more recently mentioned, the Boston Celtics.

And now, according to a report today coming from The Athletic’s Kelly Iko, Capela’s heel injury looks to be much worse than initially thought and could even be full-blown plantar fasciitis, an injury which could potentially last all season.
