Tiago Splitter To Be Ready By Camp: Make-Or-Break Season Approaching?

For Tiago Splitter, there is so much to do, with so little time. After being sidelined with a hip injury in the stretch run of the regular season last year, the San Antonio, Gregg Poppovich by-product is entering his second season with the Atlanta Hawks with more questions than answers.

Will he be a viable back-up to Dwight Howard or Paul Millsap? That’s one major question.

With his hip injury and age, it’s no surprise that Splitter has had a slower process of recovering from the injury. While he had a decent season last year, health is and always will be a deciding factor for playoff contenders.
