Hello there! Looks like Clint Capela will be back tonight. He was back on the bench last night and the Hawks did not list him on the injury report for tonight’s game against the Wizards.
@williamslaurenl.bsky.social how close is Capela to coming back? With him in the mix, I still think the 6 spot is doable this season. The East isn't very deep at all.

Asked by @williamslaurenl.bsky.social about playing with Trae Young, Georges Niang said "I'm just glad I don't have to guard him."
Niang said that it seemed like every time he had to defend Young, he ended up fouling him.

If he maintains his pace, Dyson Daniels would become the youngest qualified player to ever average 3+ steals per game in a season. 👀

After a question by @williamslaurenl.bsky.social, Quin Snyder all but confirmed that Dom Barlow will be in the mix tonight.
He noted that Wallace and Plowden played in Chicago and had an opportunity, before saying "Now, it is Dom's turn."
