An answer for the unprecedented Caris LeVert question: https://twitter.com/SportsWS/status/1351256632353763330?s=20

Long story short, our stat provider put LeVert on Houston's roster for HOU's Game 10 (which overwrote LeVert's statline from BKL's Game 10). That never should have happened, so those stat lines have been deleted.

Normally, the MOST RECENT version of a game stat line is counted. So the newer of the Game 10s would have applied, even if it was a DNP. That's how it's always been. This is a unique situation though.

The decision is not because LeVert did really well in Game 10 for Brooklyn (43 points). It's not because a certain amount of time passed between the Brooklyn game and the Houston game (six days). It's just because the four teams involved didn't end up finalizing the trade in the way that was initially reported. LeVert was never formally part of Houston's roster.

Game 10 has been re-scored as a result.

Hi, further to the above, Oladipos game 10 score, he played for Pacers at the time, then got traded to Houston and they were well back in the schedule, would have Jan 11th Pacers game score remain ? Or should it have been overwritten by the upcoming Houston game ?
