HOUSTON -- Rockets starting center Clint Capela has a left fibula fracture and will be re-evaluated in approximately four weeks.

The team announced on Tuesday that he underwent imaging tests that revealed the injury. He had missed Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs.

Capela was injured in Saturday's overtime win over the Timberwolves, leaving in the third quarter.

Capela is averaging 11.8 points and eight rebounds in 28 starts this season. With Capela out, the Rockets will start Nene, though Montrezl Harrellwill also get more minutes.
