Logan Bowles / USA Today Sports
Atlanta Hawks center Tiago Splitter missed his fifth straight game Monday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The 30-year-old Brazilian big man has been out of action since Nov. 24 with a hip injury.
Acquired by the franchise in an offseason trade with the San Antonio Spurs, Splitter has been rather underwhelming in his transition to the Eastern Conference, averaging 5.6 points and 3.6 rebounds in 17.3 minutes per game as a backup.
