As reported by: Brian Lewis Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) and Clint Capela (knee) both questionable for Tuesday; Lou Williams (back) ruled out.
Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) and Clint Capela (knee) both questionable for Tuesday; Lou Williams (back) ruled out. If Capela can’t go, expect John Collins to start at center. Bogdanovic has been playing through his injury so I’d expect him to go, but if he can’t suit up it’d be a boost for Danilo Gallinari and Delon Wright in the second unit.
As reported by: Brad Rowland Other tagged players: Clint Capela, Lou Williams P.J. Tucker (calf) and Caleb Martin (ankle) questionable for Tuesday; Gabe Vincent (toe) probable.
P.J. Tucker (calf) and Caleb Martin (ankle) questionable for Tuesday; Gabe Vincent (toe) probable. Tucker and Martin have played through their injuries and the probable status of Vincent is good news for the Heat as he likely starts again for Kyle Lowry, who has been ruled out for Tuesday’s game.

Suns will start Paul, Bridges, Johnson, Crowder and Ayton on Sunday
Suns will start Paul, Bridges, Johnson, Crowder and Ayton on Sunday. Cam Johnson will remain in the starting lineup with Devin Booker still sidelined.
As reported by: Phoenix Suns Hawks will start Young, Huerter, Hunter, Collins and Capela on Sunday
Hawks will start Young, Huerter, Hunter, Collins and Capela on Sunday. Clint Capela will indeed return to the starting lineup in his first game back since his knee injury. Although Capela likely won’t see his full run, he still should see a good chunk of minutes meaning John Collins will see less minutes at the five and Onyeka Okongwu will return to his end of the rotation role as the bench center.
As reported by: Brad Rowland Heat will start Vincent, Strus, Butler, Tucker and Adebayo on Sunday
Heat will start Vincent, Strus, Butler, Tucker and Adebayo on Sunday. Vincent was the expected replacement for Kyle Lowry who will be forced to miss today’s game due to a hamstring injury. Vincent, Butler, and Tyler Herro will likely all assume more ball handling duties with Lowry out and can be considered better plays as can almost all of the available Heat players.
As reported by: Miami Heat Clint Capela (knee) available Sunday
Clint Capela (knee) will be available Sunday against the Miami Heat. It remains to be seen if Capela will instantly return to the starting lineup for the Hawks or if he will play a limited role off the bench. Regardless, this is big for the Hawks as they look to even up the series. With Capela’s return, John Collins should play less minutes at the five and Onyeka Okongwu will likely return to his role at the end of the rotation for the Hawks.
