Tiago Splitter: Won't play Tuesday

Splitter (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Celtics, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Analysis:

Splitter left Saturday's game against the Cavaliers with a sore right hip, and after being held out of practice Monday, the Hawks have made the call to rule him out in advance of Tuesday's game. The early ruling doesn't bode well for his status heading into Wednesday's game in Minnesota on the second night of a back-to-back, though the Hawks haven't commented on his availability for that matchup.
