Five on the court, one is injured

Earlier today, V team brings six players. One fouls out.

Fourth quarter: While V-3 is holding the ball, V-14 rolls her ankle and goes down. I stop play and beckon the coach. Coach V is hesitant to come out, admitting that she didn't want to lose V-14 if she came out (not that it mattered, as already beckoned her).

My veteran partner tells the coach V-14 can come back in if she takes a time out. Coach V agrees.

During the time out, I discuss with my partner that I'm not sure a time out was necessary, since the team only had five players available. He points out that V-14 needed the time out to recover, anyway. It was a very wise point.

Setting the point aside, though, let's see V-14 wanted to play right away, even after a coach beckon with only five available players. V-14 would not have to sit a tick, correct?
