Team A then calls a time-out. At the conclusion of the time-out, (a) A1 is ready to play, or (b) A7 replaces A6. RULING: In (a), A1 may not re-enter the game until the next opportunity to substitute after the clock has properly started. Legal substitution in (b); A6 may leave the game at any time. Substitution restrictions only apply to being withdrawn and attempting to re-enter without the clock properly starting. (8-2; 3-3-4)

Does the injury provision apply to this situation? I would have thought that since A6 entered to shoot the technical free throws, then that player becomes a starter basically. What would allow you to substitute again for A6 (with A7 for instance) without another technical or tick coming off the clock?
