Injuries - how frequent?

[Leander]

Hi.

This question may be strange but how frequent are injuries? I need to know this for a custom NBA Live injury system.

I play 28-games seasons. With my old system (I rolled dice) too many players were injured.

Imagine a real NBA team with real players...a 28-game season and 15 players on the roster.

How many players will be able to play all 28 games? How many will miss games? What´s the % for a team to have a player miss half the season due to injury?

Stupid question but I really need this. Please propse stats how many players will be able to play all 28 games, how many will miss 1, 2, 3 etc. games. I know it´s difficult to tell but just on average.

I can't think of a reason why anyone would know this.

after running some numbers that i wont bore you with the number is 73%, thats how many will players will play every game.9% will miss half the season or more and the rest will miss between 1-4 games

Sauru How do you come to this conclusion?

Look at 2-3 different teams and their injuries list of the past years and start calculating.
On a 15 men roster, Saurus Numbers would correspond to 1 person missing half the season, 2-3 people missing 1-4 games and the rest plays all.
