I wouldn't be a bit surprised if his contract says he has a say so in when he leaves the injury bench.
You are kidding right? If not, you should be, Dick.
If the employment contract does not state that the employed is obligated to work except as excused by physician, authorized by management, or in case of serious personal emergency, it was written by someone who shouldn't be writing contracts. Those are basic conditions for salaried employees. I'm sure the league has top notch contract attorneys considering the money at stake with its employees. There may be more conditions and exceptions (provisions for sudden illness, vacation, maternity/parternity leave...), but "I can't work because I am upset that I didn't get my way" is surely not among them.
