What is the expected action when a player is taken out of the game due to injury?

When a player is taken out of the game due to an injury, the expected action is that a substitute is allowed to enter the game. This is in line with standard basketball regulations that ensure the game continues smoothly while addressing player safety. When a player cannot continue playing due to injury, the game is paused briefly for the substitution process to occur.

Allowing a substitute to enter ensures that the team is not left at a numerical disadvantage and maintains the integrity of the game. This process also provides an opportunity for the injured player to receive medical attention without jeopardizing the overall flow of the game.

In contrast, if the game were to continue without a substitute, it could lead to an unfair situation where the affected team has fewer players on the court. Therefore, the option to substitute is vital for both ensuring fairness and prioritizing player health.
