Actually, when a team is down to 5 players, once a player commits 6 fouls, he stays in the game, but any foul after the 6th is both a technical and a personal foul.
If one of the 5 players on the floor is injured or disqualified, than one of the disqualified players on the bench can enter (in reverse order of disqualification) with a technical foul assessed for the substitution.
