There was a rumour that some players tend to get fouled more oftenÂ
It was announced on the forums by one of the bb's a few years ago that there is a hidden aggressiveness trait that influences certain players to be more physical, which causes both fouls against them and injuries due to excessive contact. Can't find the thread in question, but can comfortably say it is more than a rumour. In saying that, it was more about the player causing fouls rather than receiving them, and in this players case, he doesn't seem to foul out consistently enough to suggest he is a serial fouler.
Averaging 1.0 per game, maybe he has had a good run and was due for a few bad games.
