Rockets’ Clint Capela has been fighting illnesses since start of playoffs

In Game 4 of the first round series between the Rockets and Jazz, Clint Capela had his worst game in a postseason where he has been relatively quiet. He finished with just 4 points and 7 rebounds on 1-6 shooting and the Rockets were outscored by 20 points while he was on the floor.

Per ESPN’s Tim MacMahon, Clint Capela is actually quite sick, as the center is battling both adenovirus and a klebsiella infection.

Capela has only played more than 30 minutes in two of the four games against the Jazz, after averaging 33.
