One of my SGs got hurt pretty bad last night. Down to 45%. This is the message I got:

Coach, I have some good news and some bad news. Bad news - Robert Jonson is going to be out at least 2 days - sprained ACL. Good news, I don't think it's going to be a recurring problem.

What does that mean? That he is completely out for 2 games and then will start to slowly recover from 45%? Or he will go back to 100% after two games of being at 45%?

Despite playing 15 seasons or so, this is the worst injury I have ever sustained...lots of 80%, 75%, 70% injuries, nothing this bad before. The weird thing I have never seen before is the medical cross on my player that says 'injured - out 1 game'. Anything anyone can tell me? His durability is 45.

I believe he can't play until he's 50+. He also doesn't practice so it's possible to see a slight drop in a category.

Once he hits 50 he starts to practice again and is eligible to play. If he's like most he should improve 5-6 points a game in health so he may not get back to 100 in health for 9-10 games.

Yep, you are right, up to 50% today, and his medical red cross is gone. This is going to be a rough week.

What are the ramifications of putting a redshirt on an injured player? Will they refuse it? Work Ethic drop? Or will they always take it with no problems?

You can't put a redshirt on someone if they have already played in any game during the season.

If you are talking about a medical redshirt, the player has to miss most of the season for that, they are extremely rare (has anyone had one?)

I've never seen a medical redshirt. You can't apply for it. It's a surprise gift from WIS but don't hold your breath

Several seasons ago I had a player injured and his health rating went down to a 1. No kidding, he was only mostly dead. He was injured in the 3rd or 4th game of the season and did not get back to 100% until after we were eliminated from the post season. He got a medical redshirt.
