Hawks' Splitter, Bazemore will not play vs. Timberwolves

Atlanta Hawks center Tiago Splitter and swingman Kent Bazemore will not be suiting up for the team on Wednesday night when they visit the Target Center to take on the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Splitter will sit his second game in a row with a hip injury, while Bazemore will miss his fifth straight outing due to a right ankle sprain.

The Hawks are winners of two of their last three games following a three-game losing streak. They lost their first meeting of the season against Minnesota on Nov. 9, 117-107.
