Capela Fires Back at Ayton After Lakers Loss

During the Lakers’ 113-110 defeat to the Suns, DeAndre Ayton made a remark in the locker room that the team was trying to mold him into a Clint Capela‑style big man. The comment came after Ayton posted only 2 points on 1‑of‑3 shooting and 4 rebounds in 23 minutes, a performance that left the Lakers trailing by 24 points while he was on the floor.

Capela, who recorded 4 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks in 7 minutes of a 113-108 win over the Magic, posted a snarky Instagram story in response. He wrote, “U got 2 of the best floor general in the game my dawg Lockinnn,” mocking Ayton’s comparison.
