Finally, he is back. Clint Capela is expected to return on Thursday night as the Houston Rockets come back from the All-Star Break. Their budding-star big man has been sidelined with a thumb injury that has held him out since he injured it against the Magic on January 13.
Tim MacMahon of ESPN reported this news tonight and the Rockets will have their much-needed center back. The team went 9-6 in his absence and was heavily outrebounded along the way by just about every team.
Rockets center Clint Capela is returning to practice today after missing 15 games due to ligament damage in his right thumb.
