How Do You Fail A Physical?

[Jordan45822]

I ask because I seen some injured players pass them. And recently Shaq with an injured hip passed his.

[Malinhion]

Last failed physical I recall was Kenyon Martin during the summer about 2.5 years ago. I forget where he was supposed to go, but I guess the physicians made a good choice.

[Sting3r]

it depends on the team's expectations.

shareef "failed" his phyiscal because nj didnt like what they saw in his knees...

[bstein14]

Its all on whether or not the team wants the trade to happen.

You can trade a completely injured player who may never play again, or may never be the same.

Look at Grant Hill to Orlando for Ben Wallace and Chucky Atkins.

In most cases, a team will only have someone fail a physical if there was something major unknown with the player.

I can remember Sean Elliot failing a physical in Houston.

the hornets traded two second round picks (marcus vinicius and adam haluska) for steven hunter in '06 but he failed the physical

[kidd0701]

The Nets are famous for their physicals, imagine if KVH fails his.. haha it won't happen but just imagine. The Nets actually saved Tractor Traylors life, they pointed otu to him his heart problem, and the nets were right on Shareef.

[Heat3]

you only really fail if you have something wrong that the team doesn't expect.

[Three34]

Teams can waive physicals if they so wish.

Different sport, but a couple of years ago Grady Jackson failed his physical with the Falcons because of heart/weight problems, but magically passed a month or two later when we became really desperate for a starting DT.

[scottyo50]

you dont get all the answers right. duh.

[Jordan45822]

So it depends on someone having health issues (weight, heart, cancer, etc.) and team's liking that makes you fail? Wow didn't know that I thought if you were injured (which has been proven wrong).
