Replacing players in the playoffs?

Haven't given this much thought before now.

According to what Ive read in here players need to play 7 games to qualify for the play-offs?
Does that include development players?
If so does that mean the Hawks can only field 9 players?

I suppose players get injured every year I've just never paid a lot of attention to the bench.

I don't think being able to play development players would help the result any but it might allow some respite if game one gets away from them

Didn't Brad Robbins come out of retirment for finals as an injury replacement for Damo? Pretty sure he retired half way through the season though so would've played enough games.

Yes, he'd played enough games.

Do you actually have to get on the court, or just suit up? If the latter there should be at least one or two qualified DPs.

Good Point Kobe, I hadn't thought of that.
I guess the NBL stats only record a game if minutes were played, but there would have been 12 players suited up for most games.
As an example Rhys Vague does not earn a mention but I know he suited up for a couple.
