0 Subject: RIHC 2011-12: Injury Slot Designations

Posted by: Guru
- [330592710] Fri, Dec 23, 2011, 17:29

This is the seventh year we will be using the Injury Slot for the RIHC league, and I believe that some of the QLs may be 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.

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. The 10-day waiting period does not apply to players who a were added to the roster as part of the preseason draft.


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.

Gerald Henderson (hamstring) is expected to miss 2-4 weeks. An MRI revealed a serious pull. With the tricky nature of hamstring injuries and the All-Star break looming in three weeks, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Henderson held out for the full four weeks.

Anderson Varejao has been diagnosed with a non-displaced fracture in his right wrist and will be out indefinitely.
Varejao will be re-evaluated in a week. Brian Windhorst writes that Varejao is "likely to return this year," and we're speculating that he's out at least 4-6 weeks.

Emeka Okafor (knee) will not play on Wednesday and could be out for a while according to coach Monty Williams. "From what I’ve heard it’s one of those weird deals," Williams said. "I just heard yesterday he’s not going to travel with us and he’ll stay at home."

From Rotoworld:

Nene (calf) will be in a walking boot for about four days and will be re-evaluated at that time.
By the sounds of this report, it would make no sense for the Nuggets to rush Nene back with the All Star break just a few days after that evaluation. Kosta Koufos looks like a strong add for the next week, and Chris Andersen and Kenneth Faried are worth consideration as spot-plays, too. Feb 16 - 9:50 PM

Ginobili

Updating an earlier item, the San Antonio Express-News confirmed that Manu Ginobili (oblique) is still expected to miss "about two weeks."
There was an item posted at NBA.com that quoted Gregg Popovich as saying Ginobili would miss "several weeks," but this report posted late on Monday evening is much more reliable. Gary Neal stepped up on Monday with 14 points on 4-of-13 shooting (including three treys), but it's anybody's guess if he can keep it up going forward. Feb 21 - 5:15 AM

Pekovic has missed last two games. Now projected to miss three more according to Rotoworld:

Nikola Pekovic - C - Timberwolves

Nikola Pekovic has been diagnosed with bone spurs in his right ankle, and he will not play on Sunday, Tuesday or Wednesday.
Darko Milicic may make a few place-holder starts at center, but Kevin Love and Derrick Williams are the guys who will do the heavy lifting in Pek's absence. It sounds like he's in a walking boot and has no clear return date, but owners should hang onto him while we await more information.

Rotoworld - Amare Stoudemire’s back injury doesn’t sound good and he’s heading to see a specialist to see if he’ll need surgery. The bottom line is that he’s out indefinitely and could easily be shut down for the season.

he's already missed 3, now this...

Kyrie Irving (shoulder) is "progressing," but he's expected to be held out of games this week.
"He still has four or five days before we consider thinking about bringing him on the basketball court," Byron Scott said. Make no mistake about it, the Cavs will be extra cautious with their prize rookie. Scott has previously admitted that Irving is a shutdown candidate, and it's possible Irving is sidelined for longer than the remainder of this coming week.

Kevin Love (concussion) is out indefinitely.
This really shouldn't come as a shock of any kind. Michael Beasley said after Love's injury that he could see Love's eyes shaking, and the fact that he spent the night in the hospital following the injury is an indication of how seriously the club is treating his condition. Despite being labeled as a "mild" concussion, Love will have to pass a series of baseline tests to return to the court. The rest of his season is in jeopardy, and Derrick Williams will start in Love's place while he's sidelined.

Eric Gordon didn't play on Tuesday against the Warriors and has also been ruled out for the final game of the season due to his bad back.
Gordon has been a disaster all year and he's not finishing on a high note, obviously. Marco Belinelli will be a decent play again in the finale, as Gordon will finish up the season with just nine games played.
