ATLANTA (AP) — Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season with an injury to his left hand.

The Hawks said Friday an MRI showed Capela had a ligament injury in the fourth metacarpal of his hand. The Hawks said Capela will be evaluated in three to four weeks. Atlanta's final regular-season game is scheduled for April 13 against Orlando.
