I know if an injured player is judged to have a concussion, her or she can't come back without approval from a DO or MD, but for a non-concussion injury, is the above true, or is it some sort of rule myth? |
Were they playing by NBA rules?
From the NBA rules as posted on-line:
NBA.com - Official Rules of the National Basketball Association
Rule 9, Section II-Shooting of Free Throw
a. The free throw(s) awarded because of a personal foul shall be attempted by the offended player.
EXCEPTIONS:
(1) If the offended player is injured or is ejected from the game and cannot attempt the awarded free throw(s), the opposing coach shall select, from his opponent's bench, the player who will replace the injured player. That player will attempt the free throw(s) and the injured player will not be permitted to re-enter the game. The substitute must remain in the game until the next dead ball.
