The Hawks woke up to find that Santa had left them a gift this Christmas as Clint Capela has cleared COVID protocols and will be available for today’s matchup with the Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

Despite Capela’s return, the Hawks will still be without superstar Trae Young and seven other players who remain in the NBA’s COVID protocols. This includes:


Wes Iwundu
Kevin Huerter
Onyeka Okongwu
Sharife Cooper
Lou Williams
Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot
Danilo Gallinari

The Hawks have made a flurry of moves in recent days to ensure they remain above the eight-player threshold to keep the game on schedule.

Cam Reddish and Delon Wright suffered injuries in the Hawks’ victory over the 76ers on Thursday, but both are listed as probable in the latest injury report.
