FAQ BEFORE TIP-OFF

Your questions,
answered.

01Is this a live report?

No. It is dated schedule coverage. The source time and missing player coverage are explicit. Automatic game-day ingestion is not running in this preview.

02Does Pending mean the player is injured?

No. Pending is the site’s state for information that has not been verified or published. It is separate from official injury labels such as Out or Questionable.

03Which time zone do the games use?

Game times on this dated page use Eastern Time (ET). The date in the URL stays attached to this slate.

04Where can I check the roster?

Open a matchup and follow either team name to its roster page. Roster membership alone does not establish availability or a starting position.
