Probably fine him (Sprewell rule?) but I don't think you can void a contract based on an injury. Probably would need some special clause or something for that. What if he broke it playing in the Olympics or summer league?
you can void a contract as a result of injury. I know that cause I remember the whole Jay Williams incident. Chicago showed class by not voiding his contract when they had the option. I don't know if international play allows the same freedom.
and he broke it this week playing for the his French National team.
I think many don't realize that contracts are not simply guaranteed; they're guaranteed
as long as you meet a number of conditions. That's the same thing I have in my profession and I think it would be a more just society if all contracts were done that way (rather than being at will). Basically: "You uphold your end of the deal, and we won't fire you." (Any employer can decide not to renew your contract when it ends but they can't fire you unless you violate your end of the contractual agreement.)
