How do you activate players that are on IR ?

How do you activate players that are on Injured reserve? Ex..... D George was on IR for Dallas, now he's back. Same for Barbosa on Phx, he missed some time because of the death of his mother, now he's back, but he's stuck on IR with no minutes to play on my roster. How does he get activated in the game, when he has 0 minutes played?

What do you mean? For quick games or in association mode? Normally, you should go to Rotations and adjust the minutes there. You have to lower other players´minutes first as you cannot swap one player from the IR to the bench and he still has 0 minutes assigned.

Yes, the rotation screen will let you put players on or take them off the IR. You can swap anybody but a starter for a player on the IR, whether they have minutes assigned or not. The game will then allocate those minutes into unused minutes, and you will need to assign them before leaving the screen. Once you swap a player, you shoudl also check the situations screen to make sure nothing weird happened to your situational lineups because they get automatically adjusted wen you put a player on the IR who was in one of the lineups.

Thx for the reply man, I was speaking of quick games. How do you lower the minutes of other players? Thx again.

Thx for the reply. When I take a player off IR and put back into rotation, a message comes up that says I don't have the required 240 mins, that I can have the computer adjust the lineups or do it manually. My question is how do you take minutes away from other players? Thx again.

all you have to do is highlight the player you want to add minutes to and just hit the [>]
