Get ESPN NBA Event Play Personnel (On-Court Lineup at Play)

Returns the players on court at a specific NBA play in long format (one row per athlete entry across both competitors). Foundation for lineup analysis. ESPN coverage is sparse — many plays return zero rows; the wrapper returns a typed empty tibble in that case.

Usage

Arguments

event_id

ESPN event identifier.

play_id

ESPN play identifier.

...

Additional arguments; currently unused.

Value

A long tibble with one row per on-court athlete.
