Official league material

COURTSIDE / FIELD NOTESRead the record.

The NBA opening-night schedule release supplies the three October 20 matchups used in the original homepage. NBA Rule No. 3 supplies the lineup-submission rule. The official injury report PDF dated March 27, 2026, 6:00 PM ET supplies the homepage sample. The archive also contains complete player rows from 22 official 6 PM ET files published in January–April 2026.

WNBA’s June 17, 2026 release supplies the announced fifty-game regular season beginning in 2027. It is not used as a substitute for a full future fixture list.

Roster and preseason schedule snapshots

COURTSIDE / FIELD NOTESKnow the floor.

ESPN team roster and schedule feeds were retrieved for all thirty NBA teams on October 2, 2026. Team pages identify that provider and the season returned by the feed. The roster field contains membership and source positions, not a confirmed starting unit.

The schedule import converts UTC timestamps to America/New_York for ET display. It preserves venue and season-type fields. A partial feed is not used to infer missing rest days or a complete regular-season schedule.

What is not connected

COURTSIDE / FIELD NOTESBefore tip-off.

There is no active premium lineup API, automated official-report monitor or live box-score history in this preview. No API subscription was purchased. No server cron or production configuration was installed.

If a source later becomes available, its scope and timestamps must be recorded before the corresponding page claims live coverage. A source name in a methodology document is not evidence that an integration is running.
