Never had the "long delay" problem in a basketball game, but I've had it happen to me three times during football games (once as a player, twice as an official).

In 2 cases, a short (3-5 minute) warm-up period was given after the injury delay. In third case, the coaches agreed to terminate the game early. In that situation, there were only about 30 seconds left in the game, and the team that had the lead was in possession of the ball, and the losing team had no timeouts remaining, so we were a kneel-down away from the end of the game anyway.
