Rockets center Clint Capela on Saturday returned to practice after missing two days of workouts with an upper respiratory infection, but was still not feeling as well as he hopes he will be on Sunday when the Rockets open their playoff series against the Utah Jazz and his mentor, Jazz center Rudy Gobert.
“I’ve been better,” Capela said. “The last two days, lack of sleep, high fever, so I’ve been better.
“It’s tough when you are trying to get ready, you can’t really sleep, coughing a lot. Medicine hasn’t really been helpful so far. I’m going to keep fighting through.
