Is there any way to adjust these kinds of ratings for injuries?
For example, IMO the GS Warriors are a much better team with David Lee playing than without him. However the team rating is a result of all the games. The PR might be a lot different in either circumstance, but it’s hard to pin down by how much.

I could do this using Adjusted +/- ratings. Like if a +10 player played 36 minutes and is replaced by a +3 player you could figure out how much tis hurts team.

That sounds like great idea. One problem I am having is finding back game logs that have all the injuries listed. It’s a pain in the neck to look at the box score to see who played and then try to back into the injuries based on who is missing.
