Do players on the PUP list receive salary while on the list?

Players on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list receive their full salary while they are on the list. This compensation is based on the fact that being placed on the PUP list indicates that the player is unable to participate due to injury or health issues, but they are still part of the team's roster. The rules governing the PUP list stipulate that players retain their contract status and salary in this situation.

Receiving full salary is a key aspect of the player's contract, ensuring they are financially supported even while unable to play. This framework emphasizes the protection of player rights during periods of recovery or rehabilitation, acknowledging the physical demands and risks involved in professional sports. The system is designed to provide players with a safety net, highlighting a commitment to player welfare by the league and the teams.
