Endpoind for fetching injured players (for coming game) ? #115

Open romlr opened 6 years ago

romlr commented 6 years ago

Looks like method inactive_players() from class BoxscoreSummary (endpoint: boxscoresummaryv2) works only for played games, not coming games.

Is there a way to fetch inactive players (like long-term injured and so on..) for coming games ?

thanks to the community!

NBA League rules require active/inactive sheets for each game to be submitted no later than 1 hour before game time, so there are no "long-term" or "future" inactives available. They are only officially submitted ~1 hour before game time, but may not even be pushed upstream until later than that (maybe even 15-30 minutes before the game).
