Clint Capela has been dealing with a sore right shoulder this season

The cause of Clint Capela’s early season struggles might not be the best news Houston Rockets fans could have gotten, but at least now they have answers.

It was reported first on Wednesday night after the Rockets’ win over the short-handed Golden State Warriors that Houston’s big man has a nagging shoulder injury.

A sore right shoulder has been a factor in Clint Capela's slow start. He hurt it playing for Swiss national team and has been working to strengthen it. "Getting there slowly," he said, adding that it's really bothered him trying to dunk with one hand and reaching for rebounds.
