Tiago Splitter: Announces retirement from basketball
Tiago Splitter announced his retirement from professional basketball Monday in an interview with Brazilian cable television network SporTV.Splitter hit free agency this summer but generated little interest on the open market, likely due in no small part to the recurring hip issues that had limited him to 44 NBA appearances over the past two seasons. The 33-year-old will thus call it a career after seven years in the NBA with the Spurs, Hawks and 76ers, during which the center averaged 7.9 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 19.2 minutes per game over 355 regular-season outings (153 starts). The 2007 first-round pick claimed his lone NBA championship with the Spurs during the 2013-14 season.

Tiago Splitter (calf) will be available during Tuesday's matchup against the Nets, Jessica Camerato of CSN Philly reports.The Philadelphia 76ers have given Splitter the go-ahead for Tuesday's game, though he was likely just on the injury report as a precautionary measure after missing the bulk of the season with a strained right calf.

76ers' Tiago Splitter: Probable Friday vs. Cavaliers
Tiago Splitter (calf) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Brian Seltzer of Sixers.com reports.Splitter's appearance on the injury report is likely just precautionary, as the center still has some limitations after missing most of the season with a strained right calf. While he figures to be available Friday, the Philadelphia 76ers' medical staff has recommended that Splitter only play three-to-four-minute bursts if he does see the floor. It may be a stretch to even expect him to see that much run, as Splitter looks like a clear third option on the depth chart at center behind Richaun Holmes and Shawn Long, even with Jahlil Okafor (knee) still out.

76ers' Tiago Splitter: Probable Wednesday vs. Hawks
Tiago Splitter (calf) is probable for Wednesday's action against the Hawks, Bob Cooney of the Daily News reports.Splitter made his season debut Tuesday after dealing with a calf injury all year, providing two points, three rebounds and one block across seven minutes of action. Though he seemed uninhibited by his calf, the Philadelphia 76ers are still opting to be cautious on the second half of a back-to-back set Wednesday, listing him as probable rather than guaranteeing that he'll see the floor.

76ers' Tiago Splitter: Solid play in limited minutes in season debut
Tiago Splitter (calf) scored two points (1-2 FG) and added three rebounds and one block in seven minutes during his season debut in Tuesday' 106-101 win over the Nets.Considering how few minutes he played, Splitter had a productive debut. It was his first NBA game in over a year, though he appeared in some D-League games late in his rehab process. Jahlil Okafor (knee) was out Tuesday, opening the door for Splitter to see minutes. With the Philadelphia 76ers on the brink of official elimination from the playoffs, and with Splitter's contract set to expire at the end of the season, it seems unlikely that he will see much court time when the team is healthier.

76ers' Tiago Splitter: Available to play Tuesday
Tiago Splitter (calf) is available to play in Tuesday's game against the Nets, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.After a long recovery process, Splitter will finally make his 2016-17 season debut, as the big man has not played in an NBA game since January of 2016. With Jahlil Okafor (knee) out, Splitter could see some minutes in his return to the floor, but it is likely he will be eased into the rotation as the 32-year-old will look to prove his worth despite his age and currently fragile health in this final stretch of the regular season.

76ers' Tiago Splitter: Questionable to play Tuesday
Tiago Splitter (calf) is considered questionable to play Tuesday against the Nets.After a two-game rehab stint with the Delaware 87ers of the D-League, Splitter has rejoined the Philadelphia 76ers and is expected to make his debut sometime before the end of the regular season. It could come as early as Tuesday, though the 76ers may err on the side of caution since it's the beginning of a back-to-back set. Whenever Splitter does play, it will mark his first NBA action since January of 2016. Obviously, the 32-year-old's health is a serious question mark, but with his contract set to expire this summer, Splitter will look to use the final few weeks of the season to prove he's worth a look from teams in free agency.

76ers' Tiago Splitter: Recalled from D-League
Tiago Splitter (calf) was recalled Monday from the D-League's Delaware 87ers, Tom Moore of the Bucks County Courier Times reports.The big man was sent on a rehab assignment to the 87ers back on March 21 and appeared in two games, most recently posting eight points and eight boards Saturday against the Windy City Bulls. The Philadelphia 76ers' decision to bring him back to the big club suggests that he could be available off the bench for Tuesday's game against the Nets, which would mark his first NBA appearance in more than a year. Splitter is set to become a free agent this summer and isn't expected to be re-signed, so coach Brett Brown might not have much incentive to hand him meaningful run off the bench.
