Capela Fires Back at Ayton After Lakers Loss

During a post‑game interview after the Lakers’ 113‑110 loss to the Phoenix Suns, DeAndre Ayton said the team was trying to make him a 'Clint Capela' and added, 'I’m not no Clint Capela!' The 23‑minute center scored only 2 points on 1‑of‑3 shooting and posted a minus‑24 plus‑minus, the worst of the season.

Capela, who had 4 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks in 7 minutes of a 113‑108 Rockets win over the Orlando Magic, posted a snarky Instagram story: 'U got 2 of the best floor general in the game my dawg Lockinnn' with laughing emojis.
