Each team may hold 2 players on Injured Reserve. They are paid in full but do not occupy an active roster spot, so IR is how you cover a long absence without carrying the player against your 12–15.
Eligibility
There is no fixed length of injury required, but a player listed day-to-day is not IR-eligible. Anything more serious than day-to-day is acceptable.
Fantrax will let you move almost any flagged player to IR. The day-to-day exclusion is a league rule on top of what the site permits, so the site allowing a move does not make it legal.
A player must be activated within one day of being healthy. This is enforced automatically in Fantrax, so an IR spot cannot be used to park a recovered player.
Spots and the cap
| Spots | 2 |
| Counts against your active roster | No |
| Counts against the salary cap | Yes — full salary |
How to post
Create a topic in the NBA Injured Reserve (IR) forum. The title is the player's name and the description is the move — Place/Activate.
The body states the player and the direction of the move:
Sonics place Michael Adams (DEN - PG) $500,000 (2027) on IR
Sonics activate Michael Adams (DEN - PG) $500,000 (2027) off IR
TAB only replies to an IR move if it is invalid. Silence means the move stands — do not wait for an approval that will not come.
Then move him between the active and Injured Reserve sections of your roster post.
