Splitter to miss third straight game with hip injury

Tiago Splitter will miss his third straight game with a right hip injury as the Hawks reserve center was ruled out of Friday’s game against the Pacers on the team’s injury report.

Splitter has been nagged by his hip for much of the season. He missed seven games with the injury earlier this season. It flared up again after Sunday’s game at the Heat. He has missed games against the Mavericks and 76ers.

There is no timetable for Splitter’s return. He said Wednesday that he continues to get daily treatment and hopes to be back soon.
