Clint Capela, who has been a Most Improved Player candidate as a key cog in the Houston Rockets’ 21-7 start, will likely be out a couple of weeks after suffering a small fracture in his fibula.
French newspaper L’Équipe first reported the injury, discovered after Clint underwent an MRI today. Marc Berman confirmed it, reporting Capela will miss six weeks. That puts his return right around Jan. 30. I shouldn’t be trusted with even the most basic arithmetic, but that’s about 23 games without the Swiss Roll (I’m never letting this die, I’m sorry).
