Ok, thanks for the correction. It's been a long time since I actually tried to know the NBA rules, but I thought I had that one right. So once you're down to 5 players, you play the rest of the game with those 5 players, unless one gets hurt? That makes sense.

I actually combined the two rules in my head, sorry.
