Tiago Splitter's 2016 season was lost due to injury and the Hawks sure could have used him down the stretch.
Nagging injuries and season-ending hip surgery prevented Tiago Splitter from having a major impact for the Atlanta Hawks in 2016. When DeMarre Carroll elected to leave in free agency and sign with the Toronto Raptors, the shifted gears and acquired Splitter in a salary dump trade with the San Antonio Spurs.
Splitter appeared in 36 games with the Hawks and averaged 5.6 points and 3.3 rebounds in 16.1 minutes per night. The minutes were the big thing as nagging injuries prevented him from fully acclimating himself into the Hawks system.
