The injury news keeps getting worse for Tiago Splitter.

The Hawks reserve center will miss a minimum of six weeks after an MRI exam revealed a Grade 2 right calf strain. The injury was confirmed after the test was performed at the Emory Orthopaedics and Spine Center.

The latest injury is related to the hip surgery that preceded a right hamstring strain that has kept him out all season.

According to the Hawks, an update will be provided when appropriate

Key word is minimum.  

So he's gone until at least January 2017, if not longer, because it may take him a while to get back into basketball playing shape.

May as well bring back Edy and try to cut our losses with Splitter.

Waive this cat already.

Speedy splitter...

[cam1218]

What a bum.

[TheTruth]

I honestly forget that this dude is on our team most of the time. What a waste.

[Dnice]

I saw someone ask did he Split his Tiago?   

[NBASupes]

Bring back Edy

[DocWilkins]

Splitter pulled his calf yanking his sacks out of the Brinks truck.

Exactly. How did he even injure his calf while recovering from his hip injury?

[TheNorthCydeRises]

LOL hawkman.  That's a good damn question.

[Sarcatic1]

What a terrible move this was. Just cut your losses and move on

This dude was taking shots at guys this summer questioning their toughness and his bum azz cant even suit up. Get this clown the F out of here.

[hazer]

Damn shame, could've supplied Hawks with a great look off the bench behind D8. I give up on this cat.

[Thomas]

Pretty hard to swallow that all this physical deterioration landslided only after Tiago became one of us. Injuries here and there before the trade. As said more than once here, it is so Speedy like. Yeah Edy may be goofy but at least he will suit up when called upon.

Strained his calf sitting on the bench?  Really?

Nah, we gotta keep him until at least the trade deadline because he has an expiring contract.
You never know.....Splitter's contract + a pick or 2 might get us an upgrade at sg/sf

Dang, I really feel sorry for Tiago. I still appreciate for  what he did for the Spurs. His injury and surgery making it really hard for him to get back on the court, and i'm been waiting so long to see him play (Healthy) with the Hawks. I wish him the best. I think it's better to let him go and recover from his injury, then find a replacement backup big.

You should feel sorry for the Hawks.
