Why is there no real injured reserve in the NBA, it's kinda crazy that u don't get a roster spot when guys go out for year

it may seem odd, but there is more room on an nba roster.

in the nfl, you need a bare minimum of 25 players to play a game. your active roster is basically double this – 53 players. and the potential for injury is massive.

in the nba, serious injuries are less common, and you can play the regular season with something like a ten-man rotation.

Still u could have 4 or 5 prospects who fill out ur depth. 2 long term injuries, 2 short term injuries. 15 can go quick.

No IR doesn't make sense.
