0 Subject: RIHC 2008-09: Injury Slot (IS) Designations

Posted by: Guru
- [330592710] Sat, Oct 25, 2008, 15:54

This is the fourth year we will be using the Injury Slot for the RIHC league, and I believe that all of the QLs are using that rule as well.

Here are the RIHC rules:

Three bench slots are available to hold any player. Two additional bench slots will be enabled, but are restricted as “injury slots”, hereafter abbreviated as “IS”.

An NBA player shall be eligible to fill an IS if he is listed in any “informed” source as being injured more seriously than “day-to-day”. Examples of acceptable information sources include (but are not limited to):
RotoWire
RotoWorld
RotoTimes
ESPN
NBA.com
Newspaper stories (citing facts, not speculation).

Once a player appears in an NBA game, he is no longer eligible to fill an IS, even if a published source fails to remove his listing. When a player is no longer IS eligible, the team shall have a limited amount of time to remove that player from the IS, as defined below.

If a manager wishes to move a player into an IS but cannot find a confirming source, he may request that the Commissioner approve the designation. The Commissioner shall use his best judgment in making such a determination.

If any manager believes that another team has improperly moved a player into an IS, he may file a protest with the Commissioner. If any manager disagrees with a Commissioner ruling, he may request a league vote. Six votes shall be required to overturn any Commissioner ruling related to an IS.

Each Wednesday, the Commissioner (or his designee) shall review all rosters to assure that any filled injury slots are appropriate. In the event that an IS is improperly filled, the Commissioner will notify the manager of the violation via the email link at the Yahoo site. The notified manager will have 48 hours to correct the roster or to provide a satisfactory explanation. If a breach remains uncorrected 48 hours after notice, the Commissioner shall have the authority to drop a bench player in order to bring the roster into conformance. The player dropped will be based upon the Commissioner’s judgment as to the best interests of the impacted team.

The Commissioner shall have the latitude to extend the time for curing a breach if he knows that the manager is unreachable and/or unavailable to make the adjustment.

No player which is in an IS slot may be placed in a starting slot on any day unless the bench has been cleared of that injury slot, or unless another player is eligible to replace that player in the vacated IS. In the event of a violation, the Commissioner may elect to void any stats generated by improperly activated player.

As before, no player may be picked up as a free agent and immediately placed in an IS. Free agent additions are only IS eligible 10 days after pickup, unless the player has appeared in an NBA game after the pickup and the IS eligibility occurred thereafter.


This thread will serve as a central clearinghouse for IS-eligible players, to be used as follows:
  1. Whenever a manager in any RIHC-related league decides to declare a player injured and eligible for an IS slot, they must first check this thread to see whether that player has already been declared as IS-eligible.
  2. If that player has not yet been listed, then that manager must post a message declaring the player's status, and providing justification, with a link to a confirming source, if possible.
  3. At that time, any member of any league may post a challenge to that declaration if they wish. If more than one challenge is submitted, then the RIHC Commissioners will post a decision.
  4. If a player is persistently listed as day-to-day, that player may be placed on IS once he has missed five consecutive games.
  5. If an IS declaration has been made for a player and has not been challenged, then any other manager with that player may accord that player IS status as well, without needing to post. In other words, only one (the first) manager needs to post that declaration.
  6. When a player returns to action and is no longer eligible, someone (the original manager, a Commish, or any other manager) should post a courtesy note to that effect.

Commissioners will still need to perform a weekly review of their respective leagues to monitor compliance. If the Commissioner wishes, he may delegate this duty to another league member.

D.J. Augustin-G- Bobcats Jan. 11 - 7:55 pm et

D.J. Augustin's MRI results taken Sunday showed a strained abdomen and groin, and he will miss at least 10 days.
Augustin initially suffered the injury versus the Celtics last week, then worsened it Saturday, and reported feeling a "pop". Raymond Felton will slide into the point guard spot, and the Bobcats might try to showcase him amidst all of the trade talks surrounding him.

I'll put Augustin in an IS when Deng or Boozer make it out of one of my IS.

Bucks coach Scott Skiles again will be without center Andrew Bogut tonight against the Dallas Mavericks - the fourth straight game Bogut will miss due to a lingering back injury.

Bogut has done little in the past few days except stay at home and get treatment on his back for a few hours each day. It's unlikely he could return until next week, although he said the pain has subsided a bit.


Unlikely still sounds like day to day.
I would think you would still need to wait until after the 5th game.

My apologies on McCants.
I only read about him missing 9 games and didnt investigate if it was injury related or not.
I would have dropped Farmar when I activated Mello.

Is it possible to drop Farmar retroactively?
It would be nice to get that game played back.

Elton Brand will reportedly undergo season-ending shoulder surgery on Monday.
Just yesterday it was reported that Brand's shoulder was healing and he would play on Thursday against Indiana, but having seen him struggle in nine minutes against the Celtics Tuesday, it's no surprise that he appears to be done for the year. You may want to wait for more definitive confirmation before cutting Brand loose, but it looks like his first season in Philadelphia is over.

Report: Bucks' Ridnour out up to four weeks

According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinal, Luke Ridnour suffered a broken thumb in practice on Thursday, and could be sidelined for up to four weeks.
Since the Bucks finalized a trade sending Tyronn Lue to the Magic during the same practice (ouch), Ramon Sessions is the only true point guard left on the roster. Both Sessions and shooting guard Charlie Bell stand to get a ton of run in the interim. Feb. 5 - 8:19 pm et

Will move Ridnour into an injury slot when one opens up.

Pacers swingman Mike Dunleavy (knee) will not play until after the All-Star break, it was announced on Tuesday. When he returns his minutes will likely be restricted.
"Structurally he's fine, it was just more of a pain threshold," said O'Brien. "When he comes back after the All-Star break, we'll re-evaluate his minutes." Feb. 10 - 11:56 am et

Manu Ginobili-G- Spurs Feb. 19 - 4:56 pm et

Manu Ginobili is expected to miss two to three weeks with a stress reaction in his right ankle.
Assuming that the two to three week timetable is accurate, Ginobili should still come back to salvage some good value this season. In the meantime, Roger Mason looks like the main beneficiary of Ginobili's injury and is worth a look for owners in need of scoring and threes.

The rookie center will miss at least two of the three games because of his lingering left knee injury.

Luol Deng-G/F- Bulls Mar. 6 - 2:51 am et

Luol Deng will not play Friday barring a "miracle recovery", according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
The report goes on to say that the earliest he could realistically return is during the middle of next week, but even that's a crap-shoot at this point. Nobody other than Deng is going to be able to predict his recovery time, and even then he likely won't know until he actually begins to feel improvement, whenever that may be.

Manu Ginobili has been diagnosed with a stress fracture in his right ankle that will keep him out for the remainder of the regular season, as well as the playoffs.
A CT scan and MRI revealed the fracture on Monday and there's no word on when he'll return to basketball activities. With his season officially over, Roger Mason Jr. and Michael Finley look like decent options for owners needing to replace Manu.
