Adrian Wojnarowski: MRI on Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela’s right knee revealed no structural damage and he’s expected to be evaluated again in a week, sources tell ESPN. He will clearly miss significant time in this Hawks-Heat playoff series, if he’s even able to return before it’s over.

Can confirm Clint Capela’s MRI revealed no structural damage to his right knee.
No firm timeline for him right now, as far as how much time the Hawks expect him to miss, I’m told.
@Adrian Wojnarowski first. – 4:05 PM

Onyeka Okongwu on Clint Capela:
“When Clint went down, I just told myself ‘Go ahead and win this game for Clint.’ He does so much for us. Has a big impact on the game. He went down. So, with our brotherhood, I just wanted to take care of his duties.” – 11:54 PM

What resolve from the Hawks in the second half. Lost Clint Capela to a knee injury and it didn’t matter because Trae Young took over in the second half. He scored or assisted on 42 points in the second half. Cleveland only scored 40 points as a team in the 2nd half. On to Miami. – 10:14 PM

If Clint Capela hadn’t hurt himself pulling down Evan Mobley, he probably would’ve been called for a flagrant foul. It was such a reckless play but Capela had already done more damage to the Hawks’ chances of winning when he hobbled off the court. – 9:01 PM

Clint Capela pulling Evan Mobley out of a shooting motion by his neck and taking out his own knee in the process is an all-time Weird NBA Thing. Hope it’s nothing serious. pic.twitter.com/PFbOeOkvtE – 8:54 PM

Tough injury there for Clint Capela, as Evan Mobley fell into his leg while it was planted. Been a rough half for Atlanta, which has struggled to hit shots while Cleveland has hit half its 3s. Hawks will have some digging to do to get back into this one in the second half. – 8:46 PM

Clint Capela grabbed & pulled Evan Mobley on a shot attempt. Unfortunately Capela pulled Mobley into himself, and Mobley’s momentum carried him right into Capela’s knee. Capela writhed in pain for minutes before teammates helped him to the locker room. Tough scene. He’s hurt bad – 8:45 PM
