As per the official rules, five players must be available at all times. If a player fouls out and there are no available substitutes, he can continue with six fouls but his team will be assessed a team foul and a technical foul. If a player is injured and there aren't any available substitutes, a player who has fouled out may return but again there's a technical foul assessed.

In that instance they'd have enough players to continue.

The foul-out one is in there. The game probably holds off allowing another player getting injured if no subs are available, otherwise I expect it would acknowledge the rule.

1 on 1 full court and your players would be tired like.....but seriously, how in the world would a team have six people injured or fouled out...

It's happened before. I believe the NBA record for personal fouls in a single game is 8.

But you don't get a technical though...If I remember correctly.

It hasn't happened to me in recent years but as far as back as NBA Live 95, a technical foul was assessed in such a situation. The last time I tried it out was probably NBA Live 2003 and it handled the situation realistically.
