Confused In Connecticut ...

SITUATION 5: Team A is playing with five players, but has no remaining substitutes available when one of the players has an asthma attack. The coach is beckoned onto the floor. RULING: The player must leave the game unless a time-out is requested and granted to Team A with the player being ready to resume by the end of the time-out. The team may continue with fewer than five players if there are no substitutes available. An injured/ill player may return to the game after recovery. (3-3-5)

I thought the need to play with five players "trumped" the need to "sit a tick". Or is that only with six players, when a player on the court is injured and a bench player, the only eligible replacement, hasn't "sat a tick"?
