CBA Experts: can BRK add a playoff-eligible player? How about a 2-way? 

Post#1 » by ecuhus1981 » Fri Apr 16, 2021 8:35 am

The Brooklyn Nets have seen multiple injuries, just after the April 9th playoff roster deadline. First, we found out that our 3rd string PG Chris Chiozza, signed to a 2-way contract, suffered a season-ending broken middle finger injury on his shooting hand. Second, future HoFer and newly crowned starting C LaMarcus Aldridge announced a career-ending heart arrhythmia.

LMA's retirement opens a roster spot, and we could sign a FA or a waived / bought out player. We could also sign a different 2-way guy, should we choose to cut Chris.

My question for you all is this: is there any medical exemption at this point in the season, to allow a player signed at this point to be eligible for the playoffs? Please cite previous similar cases if you know any, and/or provide specific CBA links. Thanks!

ANY player who was not under contract with another team by that day (or was on a 10 day contract at that time) is playoff eligible with a team if they sign at any point afterward. No medical exemption needed.
