what were his stats?
badfish is just the most butthurt of all the butthurt mavs fanslol @ Mavfan running in here because Roddy B broke his foot while Splitter just has a mild contusion, screaming "karma"
Glad to hear it seems like nothing serious. I just want to see a healthy team to start the season.
Why is he still playing NT ball? If I were Tiago I'd be on a Nina, Pinta or Santa Maria right now, with some Ciroc Ultra Premium Vodka.
Season over. Dynasty is done. Blow up the team.
wat was his stat?
After the game coach said Tiago will be out a week

MRI confirms minor thigh bruise for Splitter. Will sit rest of Super Four, but is expected to be ready for World Champs + Spurs camp
Good news. Should be a non-issue with two months until the season begins, and at least its limiting his international play a bit.
I wish he'd sit for World Champs, too, but that's mostly just wishful thinking, and I'd rather him be healthy and play than have him to sit due to concerns.
JMac is actually good for something.
Since he is a Spur, that means 8 months
but I was told that tp and splitter were not the same thing
splitter ofcourse got the pass where as tp did not
stats say he is hurt
out for atleast a week
The San Antonio Spurs (and the Brazilian national team) dodged a bullet. Tiago Splitter dodged some long-term, season-altering damage to his muscle tissue.
Splitter was injured while playing against Venezuela in a pre-Championship tournament game, but according to Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News, it's been diagnosed as a minor thigh contusion. Splitter has actually been cleared to resume play already, but could miss a few of the lead-up games to ensure his availability for the big show.
The Mavs' Rodrigue Beaubois broke a bone in his foot last week while training with the French national team, making it hard to blame any team official for living on pins and needles until the World Championships are over. International compe ion is always a tense subject around NBA owners and the like, and Beaubois' injury combined with Splitter's minor ailment won't be helping things.
The FIBA World Championships have already taken their first NBA casualty in Beaubois (though depending on the severity of his injury, he could theoretically be available for opening night), and things could get even worse. Splitter is a crucial part of the Spurs' plans for their upcoming season, but he's hardly the only valuable NBAer risking injury to play for his country. Though this year's crop may be low on traditional superstars, guys like Russell Westbrook, Luis Scola, Marc Gasol, and Nene could still break their NBA teams' season by suffering a significant injury.
Hopefully that won't be the case, as the World Championships remain one of the few beacons of hope for basketball fans during the off-season. There may be more reluctance to compete all around if the threat of injury becomes something more. That may not deter foreign players from channeling their basketball nationalism, but I think it's safe to say that an injury to any notable NBA player (American or otherwise) would disrupt Team USA's delicate balance. At some point, even the prestige, honor, and marketing opportunities of the Olympics aren't worth the injury risk, and a season-ending fall by one of their contemporaries would act as a sobering dose of realism for participating NBA players
Let's hope it's not something serious like a sprained femur.
You'd think someone who has posted here since 2007 would know you are supposed to provide links to the article posted.
if you really checked, you would know that I posts links all the time, but this time i forgot. Also, if you really love the links, you could google it your self. But, here you go. Thanks.

Thanks for the link. Might be a fractured quad.
It's not about me googling it or loving the links...it's about taking information from another website and posting it under your name without sourcing it. There is this thing called a copyright.
Just in case I'm not being trolled?This is why you can't post threads.
No I'm comparing a Broken foot with a slight bruise
I was thinking of going to this game but had a church commitment. Glad Brazil won and very glad that Splitter's injury is not serious.
God. I hope they are not trying to hide a medial infarction of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve.
