MRI results on Monday for Rockets center Clint Capela showed he has suffered a broken fibula and will likely miss several weeks, according to L'Equipe, the French sports publication.
In the Rockets' 111-109 win over the Timberwolves on Dec. 17, Capela left the game early in the second half after banging knees with Karl-Anthony Towns.
Coach Mike D'Antoni said on Monday that Capela will miss Tuesday's game against the Spurs and was getting an MRI. The Rockets have not released any information about the results.
Capela likely has a broken fibula, the bone between the knee and ankle, and is getting another scan to confirm the specifics of his injury, according to a person with knowledge of his medical visit.
