Injury Grievances. It is mutually agreed that in the event that a Player’s Contract is purported to be terminated prior to the dates set out in Sections 1, 2, and 3 herein, and that thereafter the Player through the injury grievance procedure or arbitration becomes entitled to compensation payable up to or after the applicable date in Sections 1, 2, or 3 herein, the Player shall be entitled to the benefit of Article 15 as if he had been terminated on the date that he became fit to play skilled football.
Injury Grievances. Section 24.1 Neutral Physicians For the purposes of this Agreement, the C.F.L.P.A. and the C.F.L.P.R.C. shall maintain a jointly-approved list of neutral physicians, including at least two orthopaedic physicians in each city in which a Member Club is situate. The list may be subject to review and modification by mutual Agreement. In the event that there is a resignation of a neutral physician and the C.F.L.P.A. and C.F.L.P.R.C. cannot agree on who should replace the neutral physician who has resigned, the Commissioner of the C.F.L. shall name a replacement for the neutral physician. Each neutral physician should be willing and able to examine Players in the C.F.L. promptly. The neutral physicians during the term of this Agreement are described in the list of neutral physicians which is attached hereto and marked as Appendix “J”.

(a) If a party to a dispute arising under paragraphs 7, 16(a)(iii), 16(b), or 16(c) of a Uniform Player Contract so elects, the NBA and the Players Association shall agree upon a neutral physician or (in the absence of such agreement) jointly request that the President of the American College of Orthopedic Surgeons (or such other similar organization as the NBA and the Players Association agree may be most appropriate to the issues in dispute) designate a physician who has no relationship with any party covered by this Agreement who shall, for purposes of the dispute, serve as an independent medical expert and consultant to the Grievance Arbitrator. Such independent medical expert shall conduct a physical examination of the player; review such medical records and reports relating to the player that bear on the issues in dispute; and prepare a written report of the player’s medical condition, which report shall address any specific medical questions submitted to the independent medical expert by joint agreement of the parties or by the Grievance Arbitrator. Any reports, opinions, or conclusions of the independent medical expert shall be provided in writing to the parties in advance of any hearing scheduled pursuant to Section 3 above. The opinions and conclusions of the independent medical expert shall be accorded such weight as the Grievance Arbitrator deems appropriate. The fees and costs of the independent medical expert shall be borne equally by both sides.
Injury Grievances. (a) Disputes arising under paragraphs 7, 16(a)(iii), 16(b), or 16(c) of a Uniform Player Contract as to (i) whether a player was in sufficiently good condition to play skilled basketball, (ii) whether the player was injured as a direct result of participating in any basketball practice or game played for the Team, (iii) whether such injury disabled the player and/or rendered him unfit to play skilled basketball, (iv) whether, at the time of termination pursuant to paragraph 16(a)(iii), the player was unfit to play skilled basketball as the result of an injury resulting directly from his playing for the Team and, if so, the duration of such unfitness, and/or (v) whether the player is being asked to submit to appropriate medical treatment shall be processed and determined in the same manner as a Grievance under Sections 2-6 above, except that if a party to such Grievance so elects, the NBA and the Players Association shall agree upon a neutral physician or (in the absence of such agreement) jointly request that the President of the American College of Orthopedic Surgeons (or such other similar organization as the parties agree may be most appropriate to the issues in dispute) designate a physician who has no relationship with any party covered by this Agreement to conduct a physical examination of the player and to perform the functions of the Grievance Arbitrator.
