The Swiss center of the Atlanta Hawks, Clint Capela has been named Ambassador for the FIBA U19 Basketball World Cup 2025. “This is an event you don’t want to miss if you want to see the future stars of the NBA. I’m counting on you to be there!” the veteran of 748 appearances in the NBA said about the junior international tournament to be held in Lausanne, Switzerland, from June 28 to July 6. -via EuroHoops.net / March 7, 2025
With about 66 seconds to go in the first quarter, Lillard was caught by the point of Clint Capela’s elbow in the left eye as the two went for a rebound. Lillard immediately went to the ground, and eventually called for a substitute. “Once it hit, I knew it was either gonna swell up or turn black, it was just a matter of time,” Lillard said after the game. “I’ve never had my vision get blurry like that. I opened my eye and then I was like, I saw how it was blurry, and it was like triple (vision) damn near so I called for a sub. I got to the bench and I don’t know what happened but they made me come back in and that was it. I was never about to come out the game (for good) or nothing.” -via Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel / March 5, 2025
