You can thank Manu for that.
http://blog.mysanantonio.com/spursna...arting-lineup/The Spurs’ medical staff determined that Splitter’s strained left hamstring was not going to allow him to play in either of the final two games of the rodeo trip — Monday, nor Thursday at Chicago. He was sent home to begin a more structured rehabilitation program.
Personally wondered whether "the push" was a frustration move related to Manu's recent slump. The fallout was Tiago's hamstrings/obliques. That was easily the nastiest spill I've seen a Spur player take this season.
According to Bill Land via the Spurs-Nets telecast Tiago is in San Antonio receiving an MRI, like, right now.
tiagosplitter Man!! I keep thinking about that nasty fall, what a bad luck! I hate be injured, I swear!!!!
This is part of Pop's secret plan to have Splitter silently working back at the arena with someone through the all star game and how I wish that was really true.
http://blog.mysanantonio.com/spursna...-work-remains/...With time running out for Splitter to find a place in Popovich’s playoff rotation, the break will afford him extra time to nurse his latest injury, a strained left hamstring suffered Feb. 9 in Toronto.
..."There really aren’t enough minutes to train him right now,” Popovich said. “Whenever we’ve gotten the opportunity, we’ve gotten him on the floor. Unfortunately for us and for him, he hasn’t been as much a part of the mix as we thought he would be.”
I guess I'm missing all the mistakes he makes when he's on the floor.

http://blog.mysanantonio.com/spursna...-as-uncertain/Team officials described Splitter’s condition after Tuesday’s practice as day-to-day. He appeared in several practice drills while the media was present before leaving the court with a team trainer.
good to know
I think he'll play tomorrow.
Last Night on the KENS broadcast Sean Elliott said he talked to Tiago and he told him "just a couple more days and I'll be ready" if I remember that correctly. We play Friday against New Jersey I'm betting on seeing him dressed for that game, and hopefully he plays by the back to back on Tues-Wednesday.
From rockets radio- gm darryl morey faxed a proposal to r.c.bufford of the spurs- who do you want(from the rockets) for tiago splitter? no answer yet.
Thoughts?
Luis Scola and Shane Battier
I don't ever remember a big man spending as much time on the floor as Tiago has. (Okay... maybe Shaun Bradley.) I've questioned it a few times during games. But when I've looked back, it's not because he has been clumsy or a lightweight. He has just taken some really wicked shots from other players. The one fall on that dunk was self-inflicted, but most of the time he has gone down has been because somebody knocked the crap out of him. And I really don't remember seeing anyone else take as many of those shots. I kind of felt sorry for him a few times.
I've seen him get pretty physical down low, and he's drawn some offensive fouls. Is he getting in opposing players' heads? Or has he just been in the wrong place at the wrong time? I honestly can't decide. I do hope he can learn to flop, so at least he can get a few more whistles out of some of these shots he's taking.
Wow, what a horrible prediction. I believe Bill Land just said he's out for the season with a torn ligament. Anybody else hear that?
He's not out for the season. He has a strained left hamstring
You're right, thanks. Just checked the game blog and found out I confused it with the ref's injury.
