I have a new 18 yo 5/5 Center coupled with a competent doctor and advanced trainer staff. I started off training his ID and he has only completed one 48 minute training week. On his second week, he got injured from a game with 2 weeks to recover. I set that game for 'Base Offense', 'Man to Man', and 'Take It Easy'.

What did I do wrong? Of all players, he was the one who got injured. My training plan for him has been delayed possibly shambled.

Is there a hidden stat of how prone a player is to injury? If so, should I give up on him because he might get injured again? If I should keep him, how do I move forward with his training? Any other recommendations?

Thanks!

Give up your 7'3" MVP center? I strongly suggest not to. Injuries are very random and I do not believe any certain players get injured more than others for any reason. Your doctor doesn't help prevent injures (nor does your tactics, effort, or trainer), your doctor only effects how quickly he will be back from his injury, because the time length decreases as you get better doctors. You did nothing wrong and there is nothing wrong with your player being injury prone, so definitely keep him! You CANNOT sell a 7'3" big man with that nice potential. As for the training... Train him exactly as you would have beforehand. It doesn't change his training at all, it just delays it for a little while.

Hope this helped!

Injuries only happen on fouls in BB, though, so aggressive players are more likely to be injured than non-aggressive ones. I had a particularly aggressive player that I finally got rid of last season after he fouled out four times and picked up four injuries in one season.

If you are not concerned with winning at all costs, in the future you can play patient offense. Your trainee will get a lot less touches in that offense reducing the likelihood of injury. In the meantime train free throws or stamina so your trainee benefits while being injured.

Agree with this. If your 5/5 C is the absolute sole focus of your training program, you could view this as an opportunity to train stamina/FT. When your star trainee is fit it's a harder decision to make as you always want to be improving on those primaries, but higher stamina in particular will do no harm at all.
