The NBA does allow all numerals, but over-fives are still rarer because most players keep their number from college - people only tend to take digits above 5 because another player on their team has their original number or they're from outside the US and played under different rules. Somewhat relevant, nobody in the NBA has ever worn 69. The NBA has never confirmed nor denied rumors that they don't allow it, but Dennis Rodman reportedly requested 69 as his number when he joined the Lakers and got turned down by the NBA's commissioner.

The bench incident is similar to why I stopped playing 2k20. I missed ONE EFFING BASKET and the computer decided at that moment that I would never be allowed to touch the ball again. I played through seven more games and didn't get to have the ball at all during any of them. It was equal parts hilarious and frustrating.
