Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela is having a historically significant start to the season.

The Atlanta Hawks knew what they were doing when they traded for the injured Clint Capela last season. He was part of a massive four-team trade but the Hawks essentially traded Evan Turner and a 2025 second-round draft pick for Capela and Nene. The Hawks then waived Nene that day.

It is always a risk trading for an injured player, but the Hawks had faith in the Swiss center coming back.
