Hawks' Splitter misses loss to Raptors due to lingering hip injury

The Atlanta Hawks were without big man Tiago Splitter for the sixth consecutive game Wednesday when they fell to the Toronto Raptors, 96-86.

The veteran has been a limited participant in practice lately and is still not ready to return to game action as he deals with a sore right hip.

The Hawks' main offseason acquisition is averaging 5.6 points and 3.6 rebounds on a career-low 48.5 percent shooting in 17.3 minutes per game.
