I have a game in progress. No player is injured.
When I go to set a lineup for a next game I see one of my player's name in red.
Is this a known bug?

It just means that one of your players gets injury in the game that is currently happening. If you click on each players page, you can also find which one

I see. So the player got his 48 minutes got an injury on the way to to dressing room which will get him out of the court for 9 - 17 days. This is very severe injury for a Staff with level 6 Doctor. I wonder what would've happen have I not have a Doctor. Dead?

I learned about the minute distribution when playing vs opponent who didn't dress a single player (here I forgot to set a lineup (138081837)), but what if I play with only 3 players against a team with 0 players? Iirc 3 is the minimum to register training minutes. Is it possible to get 48 minutes for my trainee in that scenario?

yes, if you know that opponent is gonna suffer technical loss, then minute distribution is simplier.
Starter slot - 36 min
Backup - 10 min
Reserve - 2 min

So stacking ur trainee in all 3 slots for position in which u train would give 48 min. This is only against forfeiting opponents

Thank you for confirming this. I don't think I'll experience that in the league games this seasons, though in Scrimmages it can happen with some opponents who forgot to set a lineup. So even if I did a bad scouting and book a scrimmage vs opponent who tends to forget to set a lineup I can mitigate this.

So I had this match a few games ago, that really raised my eyebrows. I lost the game, and when I checked the box score, I noticed his point guard, who's salary is around $22,000, went of for 49 points against my best player, who is a $90,000 point guard, with a legendary+1 outside defense. Upon closer examination, I realized that this $22,000 guard who went off on my best defender, is mostly played at power forward. I wondered how this player with a salary that was so low went off like he did, when I then realized this must be some kind of matchup thing. I checked his offensive tactics and he played patient. So he didn't have a offense that was geared to go for inside, while starting his power forward at point guard, but it was still very effective. Can someone explain how this works? Like when to do this kind of thing; when to play a center or power forward at one of the guard positions or vice versa? Like what are the necessary pre requisites for this type of strategy? Thanks!
