box_scores.get_box_scores is returning the same player name multiple times on the same team or opponent and in some cases the player names are incorrect. The stats seem ok, just the player names. This seems to occur in many of the box scores I have looked at. Here are a few examples:
2018-11-30, ORL, PHO, GAME, BASIC - Aaron Gordon returned as himself as part of ORL and instead of De'Anthony Melton for PHO
2021-04-22, LAL, DAL, GAME, BASIC - Alex Caruso returned as himself as part of LAL and instead of Luka Dončić and J.J. Reddick for DAL. Looking deeper at this game, several of the DAL player names are incorrect.
