Fouls are not the only thing that causes a team to play with less than 5 players. I had a game a week ago Tue. that at half time a player had a breathing problem resulting in the EMTs being called. Early in the third quarter a player twisted and ankle resulting in an inability to play. In 4th quarter 2nd player with breathing problems. There was also 1 player who did foul out. So they came with 7 players, 1 fouled out, 3 with "physical" problems so we completed the game with 5 playing 3.

Just saying the possibility does exist.

How about several players get ejected for fighting.

Granted. But the fact that the OP hasn't provided a link to an article confirms my doubt of this story.

C'mon...! ...A link ? There may not be a local paper, no less a local paper with a web site.
