Recovering From Injury Topic

I have a player, Donaldson http://www.whatifsports.com/hd/PlayerProfile/Ratings.aspx?tid=0&pid=1500168 , just returned from an injury.  He didn't show any immprovement after the first practice back and his health meter hasn't budged yet.  Also, I was concerned that despite being an A+ free throw shooter, he missed back-to-back free throws late in the last game (which eventually went OT and I lost).  My question is, does a player need to be rested in order to recover health after the player is cleared to play from an injury?  And if the player is less than 100% does that affect game performance?  Could it have a negative affect on free throw shooting, for example?

What is his health rating?    If it's below 80%, I usually rest him.   And, yes, less than 100% will affect his performance.  I don't know if there's a set formula, but if a player is 70%, I  calculate 70% of each skill rating before I decide to play him.

His health rating is 69.  Will he recover if I play him or will he stay at 69?

He will recover...if he doesn't injure himself further. I am in total agreement with alblack56, rest him until he is 80% minimum and then ease him back slowly.
