Clint Capela Opens Year 12 as Rockets' Backup Center

Clint Capela is off the injury report as the Rockets open the 2026-27 season, working in a limited bench role behind Houston's primary frontcourt. His minutes have swung game to game early on, and last season he settled into a low-usage, efficient role off the bench for Houston.
