The Brazilian basketball team will have to march in the Olympic Games tournament without one of its key players.
This is quite unfortunate for Tiago Splitter, since he will not have the chance to represent his country in the biggest sports event in the world, that is also happening in his home.
The Atlanta Hawks center personally revealed that his surgery on his right hip will force him to stay out of action for 8 months. It is thus impossible for Splitter to make it to the Olympics with the national team of Brazil.
Speedy recovery Tiago!
