Splitter will be sidelined for a sixth straight game heading into the playoffs, likely limiting his minutes for at least the first few playoff games if he's able to return for that.

Splitter will miss Sunday's game against the Warriors due to a tight right calf, NBA.com reports.
Splitter was removed from Friday's outing versus the Nuggets with the ailment, which kept him sidelined thereafter. There's no telling how much time he'll miss, but the Spurs are apt to hold the big man out until he's fully healthy. Prior to Friday's early exit, he averaged 10.8 points (on 57 percent shooting), seven boards, 1.8 assists, and one steal in 25 minutes across the previous four games.
Fri Apr 3 201521:39Tiago Splitter: Done With Right Calf Tightness
Splitter exited Friday's game against the Nuggets with tightness in his right calf and will not return.
Splitter's calf tightness leaves the Spurs a man short in the frontcourt. With the team already locked into the playoffs, they have no reason to rush back the big man, so it's possible he'll sit out a couple of games to ensure limited re-injury risk. However, the team should provide an update on his status at some point prior to Sunday's game against the Warriors, confirming whether or not he will be available.

Splitter posted 13 points, seven rebounds three assists, one steal, and one block in 25 minutes of action Friday against the Mavericks.
Splitter has been silently producing 14.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.2 steals over the last five games. He's never really considered an attractive option to have at center, but he's effective in 14-man formats nonetheless.

Splitter posted 18 points, six rebounds, three assists, and two steals in 25 minutes of action Friday against the Celtics.
Splitter is quietly averaging 11.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.0 steals over the last five games. While these numbers are far from impressive, Splitter could be considered a smart add in deep leagues, as the Spurs have the tendency to rest Tim Duncan down the stretch on occasion.
Wed Mar 18 201501:23Splitter recorded first double-double since March 22, 2014, fini...
Splitter recorded his first double-double since March 22, 2014, finishing with 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, and one block in 28 minutes on Tuesday against the Knicks.
Splitter earned the double-double in the first half, so it's disappointing he couldn't add more than two points and three rebounds in the second half. Splitter didn't play in the overtime period, and on most nights, he doesn't contribute enough to warrant standard league consideration. Splitter may continue to get extra run with Aron Baynes (ribs) sidelined, but it's better to wait for Baynes' prognosis before acting.
Sat Feb 28 201508:15Splitter started for Friday for first time since Jan
Splitter started for Friday for the first time since Jan. 31 and finished the win over the Kings with six points (2-8 FG, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, three blocks and a steal in 24 minutes.
Splitter only saw a slight bump in minutes with the start, and it's unclear if the move to the starting lineup will be a permanent one. In nine games this month, Splitter is averaging just 4.4 rebounds, 6.8 rebounds and 0.8 blocks in 16.4 minutes.
Fri Feb 27 201522:03Tiago Splitter: Starts Friday
Splitter will be in the starting lineup Friday against the Kings, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express News reports.
Splitter was a late addition to the starting lineup in place of Aron Baynes, who will come off the bench Friday. While he likely won't see a big boost, he could see a temporary bump Friday.

Splitter put up 11 points (3-4 FG, 5-6 FT), one rebound, two assists, and one steal in 16 minutes off the bench against the Clippers on Thursday.
Splitter is averaging 16.8 minutes on the court over his last five games. As a result, he only has value in the deepest of leagues as a limited option who has only played over 30 minutes once this season.
Wed Feb 11 201518:58Splitter will come off bench Wednesday
Splitter will come off the bench Wednesday, the San Antonio Express-News' Mike Monroe reports.
Aron Baynes gets the start against the Pistons, but both big men figure to see a modest 20-25 minutes Wednesday, making them low-end fantasy options.

Splitter (illness) returned Friday after missing Wednesday's matchup, but had a quiet night as the Spurs beat the Heat, finishing the game with just four points (2-5 FG), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and a block in 18 minutes off the bench.
This game was over after the third quarter, so Boris Diaw and Matt Bonner both saw at least 16 minutes off the bench in the frontcourt. Splitter could move back into the starting lineup if he's healthy, considering Aron Baynes isn't wowing anyone right now. In 16 starts this season, Splitter is averaging 7.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists.
