Splitter (back/calf) won't play Friday, Dan McCarney of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Analysis:

This means the soonest we could see Splitter take the court would be Nov. 5, and that's probably a little too optimistic. Matt Bonner got the start Tuesday in his place, but played just 15 minutes, with Boris Diaw (33) and Aron Baynes (18) both seeing more frontcourt minutes off the bench.
