You probably had some outstanding challenge like, "Bring your team within 10 points", which it won't let you sub out of the game until you achieve that. Happened to me earlier today. I was playing the Wizards and down about 14 points in the early 2nd quarter and it told me to get within 10, but the Wizards went on a huge run and we never even got within 10 for the rest of the match, so my tired self was running up and down the court getting burned again and again by 6'11 Jan Vesley (because the game is an idiot and keeps putting me at the forward positions despite being a 6'4 PG) for the entire second half, effectively plummeting my teammate grade.
The only escape is fouling out if you're that far down.
