You play to win and continue increasing the point spread.

How many minutes were left in the game when the injury occurred?

The infuriating thing about Nixons injury is it didn't need to happen.

Yes and no. He decided to go hard, so did the defense.

This is true for the effcy ratings, but for NET specifically it caps at 10 pts

True. But it should also apply to key players.

He's started 16 of 27 games he has played in and is 5th in minutes.
