Clint Capela is set to miss the next 4-6 weeks after an MRI revealed ligament damage in his right thumb.

Capela is averaging 17.6 points and 12.6 rebounds in 34.2 minutes per game this season. He may get a second opinion on the thumb in the future.

Nene, Isaiah Hartenstein, and Marquese Chriss are the only other centers listed on the Rockets roster. The Rockets limit Nene to 15 minutes per game and do not play him on the second night of back-to-back games.
