According to reports from the highly esteemed Chris Vivlamore of The Atlanta Journal Constitution, center Tiago Splitter has been participating in the non-contact portions of practice’s recently but there is still no firm time table for his return. Just prior to the start of the season, he was officially ruled out for four weeks due to his hamstring injury.
For him to be resuming his activities on the practice court is a good sign. So what exactly should Hawks fans expect from a rested and healthy Tiago? Since signing a two year, $16 million deal over a year ago, he has been underwhelming.
