Tiago Splitter is thinking ahead.
The center is out for the season after undergoing surgery on his right hip in February, a procedure that cut short his first season with the Hawks. Splitter is using some of his downtime to explore a possible career following his playing days.
Splitter, a native of Brazil, recently wrote an article on the start of his basketball career and his surgery for Cycle, a media network involving professional athletes. He also intends to attend a program at Syracuse University this summer to educate himself and further try his hand at the journalism profession.
