The Philadelphia 76ers have nine games remaining this season, and center Tiago Splitter is still hoping to be cleared to play before the regular season ends April 12.
Splitter returned from a five-day rehab assignment with the Sixers' D-League team, the Delaware 87ers, on Monday and will continue working with the training staff. In two games with Delaware, Splitter averaged 6.5 points and 5.5 rebounds.
According to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Splitter may play soon for the Sixers. Splitter last played in an NBA game for the Atlanta Hawks on Jan.
