When an injury ends a player's season, his team has the right to request a “disabled player exception” to the league, or a recruitment envelope to compensate for his absence.
This is what Utah did after the horrific injury of Taylor Hendrickswho we will not see on the pitch again until next season. The league must then examine whether the injury contracted really ends the player's season but, in the case of the Jazz winger, this step was only a formality…
The Salt Lake City franchise just recovered an envelope of 2,924 million dollars, or exactly half of the player's salary. With this, it will be able to either sign a free player, or recover a player in an exchange, or recover a player cut by another team, if he is in his last year of contract.
Utah now has until March 10 to use this “disabled player exception”but she may not use it.
