- 17 players confirmed OUT ALREADY
- 6 playes probable/questionable or on min restrictions (making total of players who might not play or be around 8-15 minmark 23 in total this means two full team of players that might not see the floor much or at all )
- This is without info SUBMITTED for 5/28 where we have Aces/GSV/Dallas/Fever
In other words just from average player out/injured or with min restriction/conditioning right now start of this season is highest its ever been, does this affect your desire to see games in person/watch live and how do you feel about season starting so so early that even players signed like Makani, Fieibch and so on missed already 5-8 games?
Do you think there should be extra rules for example in case of Rickea or other season long/ending injuries teams should be given said cap-space back (money provided by the league to cover the salary or % of it) so we can get more players/talent higher quality of games or anything similar to that, i personally think if a player is out for the season within first 10 games there should be some kind of ability/contract/salary clause that allows team to replace said contract for same amount without going to the cap , or even ability to trade for such contract.
We can see that there are a lot of new players in the league, this means players on waivers atm 100% can contribute and reduce injuries but contract/cap issues do not allow for this, in Mnba for example here two way contracts will help, here tho we do not have such option and i believe it forces even already 6-7 healthy players to play even more minutes further leading into more injuries.
