The difference is that a game being cancelled is a HUGE financial hit to the league, where an injured player doesn't cause the game to be cancelled.
I'm sure they can justify not paying players for a game that didn't exist. Again, I don't really think this is gonna matter, but I'm pretty confident the league's lawyers have signed off on it.
