Changed

NBA JSON schema

Until recently, the NBA JSON schema followed a tabular strucutre exposing headers and resultSet. The NBA is now using a nested JSON schema. In addition, the data labels are no longer uppercase (e.g., PCT_OREB), are now camelcase and, in many cases, more descriptive (e.g., percentageReboundsOffensive).

Other

• All NBA player and team data has been updated to the date of this release.
• Corrected an invalid Slack within the text body to match the link present in the Slack shield.
• Updated NBA team data to include the Nuggets 2023 championship (#350)

Known Issues

Due to the change in the NBA schema, the following methods will currently return and empty dataframe {}

• .get_normalized_dict()
• .get_normalized_json()
• .get_headers_from_data_sets()
  All other calls are expected to work as expected.
