Tiago Splitter’s retirement could bring him back to the Spurs
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. I’ve talked to my family, my wife, everyone, and it’s really time to hang it up.”
