1996 USE OR LOSE
The delay is unconscionable, but the following players did not meet 50% minimum usage and thus were lost by their teams.
Players marked with an asterisk do not return again; otherwise the year of their return is indicated. Players that return later than 1997 have been deleted from the database.
