Description
I may be interpreting this incorrectly, but on the Basketball Stats object page (https://erikberg.com/api/objects/basketball-stats) it looks like all of the identifying fields for individual player stats are going to be removed eventually. See: * - Only present for player statistics. These fields will be moved out of the basketball stats object eventually. Is this still an eventual goal, and if so is there going to be another way to track individual player stats by game?

When there is a permanent player_id field, it will supersede some of those fields. If there is still a demand to include first_name, last_name, and display_name fields at that time, we can discuss it. The way I envision this working with a player_id is by using the roster method to load each team's roster into your database, then join on the player_id field when working with box score data.

Alright, thanks!
