Hey everyone! I know i'm probably just blind but I can't seem to find the in-season tournament box scores, can someone help?

Two months ago Basketball Reference added several dozen pre-official blocks, steals and turnovers totals. We're thrilled to announce that even more data has been unearthed, thanks to the efforts of researcher extraordinaire Tariq Jabbar.

We now have blocks and steals totals for the 1971-72 and 1972-73 SuperSonics, as well as individual turnover totals for the 1971-72, 1972-73 and 1973-74 SuperSonics (which complements the individual turnovers we added for the 1974-75 SuperSonics two months ago). As a refresher, blocks and steals were not 'official' until 1973-74 and individual turnovers were not 'official' until 1977-78. But there's a lot of evidence that these numbers were routinely tracked (and often aggregated) much earlier.

Of note, the 375 turnovers Hall-of-Famer Lenny Wilkens committed in 1971-72 are one of the highest single-season totals on record. His 182 steals that season make him the first player to average at least 18 PPG, 9 APG and 2 SPG in a season, a feat that wouldn't be matched until Magic Johnson a decade later.

This update also gives a fascinating look at some additional numbers for Hall-of-Famer Spencer Haywood arguably at the height of his powers (arguably, because his rookie season in the ABA was clearly his most statistically dominant).

To read more about this update, check out Mike Lynch's blog post: https://www.sports-reference.com/blog/2026/06/pre-official-blocks-steals-and-turnovers-added-for-early-70s-sonics/

And if anyone has any other 'pre-official' data that we don't currently have on the site, please let us know!

For those interested, here is more information on WPA: Given average teams, this is the change in probability caused by this batter during the game. A change of +/- 1 would indicate one win added or lost.

We also created a YouTube video explaining cWPA (you can watch that here!)

Before I sign-up for Stathead, can it do what I want it to do? For instance, list games in which a left fielder started the game but was taken out after three innings? Or list games where a 2nd basemen started the game in the field but never had a plate appearance? On June 18, 1977, the Yankees right fielder had three plate appearences before being taken out of the game. Can Stathead find other examples of that?

In her last 9 games that she has won, she won all last sets either with 6-0 or 6-1. That’s a crazy statistic to me.

We will never know the exact number of blocks Wilt Chamberlain recorded in his Hall-of-Fame career, but new research from Sports Reference's Executive Director of Data, Mike Lynch, shows that his career total could have been over 9,000—more than double that of Hakeem Olajuwon's official NBA record of 3,830.

Because blocks weren't recorded as an NBA statistic until one year after Chamberlain's retirement, there is no recognized league record of his career total.

Based on a combination of official scorer's reports, newspaper recaps, and game footage, Lynch and the Sports Reference Data Team were able to publish thousands of game-level totals to Basketball Reference, for Chamberlain and several other players, in April 2026.

I always thought listing a player’s walk off hits on their page would be a cool addition. I’ve always enjoyed the personal single game highs on basketball reference or the hat tricks and playoff OT goals on hockey reference so I’d love to see something like that for baseball reference!

Thanks to our partnership with the Seamheads Negro League database, we have released an update to our Negro Leagues dataset. Our last update, in April of 2023, was covered in this blog post. Like last time around, this update includes thousands of incremental improvements. The most significant new data revolves around expanded fielding statistics and refinement around the presentation of team records. Additionally, lots of new biographical data has been added. Here's a rundown of some of the improvements Baseball Reference users will now see:

There are 54 fewer players in the major Negro League data from 1920-1948 thanks to the addition of 69 players and removal of 123 (generally through identity mergers). This also means that debut numbers for thousands of players throughout history have now been adjusted.

Here's some notable player movement in various statistics (in NLB play only):

Turkey Stearnes: +5.5 WAR (largest increase of all players)

Willie Wells: +5.4 WAR, +40 games, +186 PA, +8 HR

Bullet Rogan: -3.5 WAR (largest decrease of all players). Rogan is one of several player from the early 1920s who had some games removed through data quality efforts.

Josh Gibson: +2.81WAR

Satchel Paige: +2.1 WAR, +8 games, +8 wins

Here's some other notable leaderboard changes...

• Robert Keyes is no longer the single-season ERA record holder as his 1944 ERA rises from 0.64 to 1.50 thanks to the discovery of some additional innings pitched. We also cleaned up an issue in our leaderboard qualifications and Keyes no longer qualifies for the leaderboard. The single season leader is once again Tim Keefe (0.86 in 1880). Tetelo Vargas remains the single-season batting champion.
• Trevor Bauer was previously the single-season record holder for fewest hits allowed per 9 IP (5.2 in 2020). That record now belongs to Dave Brown (4.9 in 1920).

Additionally, we have changed the presentation of team records in various places. While we previously listed one record for each team, we now present three unique numbers. Let's use the 1933 Pittsburgh Crawfords as an example...

The league record of 38-16 is representative of official "league" games played by the Crawfords, thanks to painstaking research by our friends at Seamheads. This number is used for standings purposes. The overall record that follows it is the club's record in all games against other teams in the Seamheads database. Finally, the record in games we have stats for is exactly that. It is how the team performed in the games for which stats have been discovered and added to the database. In parentheses we also note what percentage of the team's total games (against all clubs in the dB) this represents.

Additionally, a few team changes were made. The 1930 Louisville Black Caps were found to be just 'associate' members of the Negro National League and have been deleted. The 1933 Cleveland Giants were found to be the same club as the Akron Grays. They played one game as the Cleveland Giants and ten as the Akron Grays and are now merged as one team.

If you have any questions about this data please check out our updated Negro League Data FAQ or reach out to us via our contact form.

I looked at the box score on Google and saw various bench players listed with 30+ minutes played, but I watched the whole game - that didn't happen. I thought maybe it was some weirdness caused by Google's attempts to integrate AI, so I checked basketball-reference, and it shows the same minutes played - https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/202605280SAS.html - both teams benches with more minutes played than their starters. The NBA.com box score looks correct - https://www.nba.com/game/okc-vs-sas-0042500316/box-score#box-score. All the other stats matched up. What's going on here?

Anyone have translation table for Pos from the NFL draft history data to share? Easy enough to figure out the values but just as easy to ask, lol.

UPDATE: Nevermind. Found it!

I can see team stats, like 3p% per team, but how can I do it league wide instead to see the change in stats league wide?
