Former Spurs center and member of the 2014 championship team Tiago Splitter has officially announced his retirement from the NBA. Citing a hip injury that has limited him to just 44 games with the Atlanta Hawks and Philadelphia 76ers since 2015, the 33-year-old made his announcement via an interview with Brazilian television network SporTV:
“It’s a decision I’ve made these past few months. It’s not something I want, but my hip injury is more troublesome than we thought.”
“You stop doing something that you’ve been doing all your life.
