Anyways; question related to injuries: has anyone found that injuries are related to a certain play style? In my experience, most of the injuries I see come after a shooting foul, but not sure how common that is. Are players with high drive rates more prone to injuries? Anyone notice any correlation to position, starter/bench status, etc?
Quick snapshot of a few of the top USA leagues after reviewing their game logs:
15 total players reviewed:
- 5 non-shooting foul
- 3 jump shot foul
- 7 driving/inside shot foul
- 0 injured, but not fouled
I’d suggest to model a good chunk of the injury RNG after NBA data, which shows:
- ~1/4 of injury designations are illness = average 3 days missed
- ~1/3 of injury designations are ankle sprains = average 10 days missed
- ~1/6 of injury designations are sore knees = average 6 days missed
