Interesting NBA Rule - Lakers Reduced Staffing

Y! SPORTS - Lakers Run Out of Players

RULE NO. 3-PLAYERS, SUBSTITUTES AND COACHES

Section I-Team

a. Each team shall consist of five players. No team may be reduced to less than five players. If a player in the game receives his sixth personal foul and all substitutes have already been disqualified, said player shall remain in the game and shall be charged with a personal and team foul. A technical foul also shall be assessed against his team. All subsequent personal fouls, including offensive fouls, shall be treated similarly. All players who have six or more personal fouls and remain in the game shall be treated similarly.

First time I've seen the rule ever put into effect.

As a statistician, I spent two summers doing stats for a pro-am league that used modified NBA rules. One particular night, a team only had five players show up and this rule came into play when one of them reached six fouls. It was very weird to see the player remain in the game.
