nba rule question...

[deibero]

if a player starts the game but leaves in the first seconds and doesnt return, like what happened to scola tonight, does it count as a game played for him?

need to know that rule, pls if someone knows...

[exstatic]

Yes, he played.

[Juanobili]

Didn't see what happened, but I'm sure that it'll count as a game played as long as he's on the court for any amount of time.

[TIMMYD!]

Damn, that'll lower his averages and that is why per 48s are sometimes better.

the thing is that im in a fantasy league, scoring system, in which we give each player -10 per game played every game, to even out the advantage of having more players that week than the other team...

i lost by 5, but if scola is considered as he played, then i deduct the 10 and win by 5...
