From the 2025-26 season
He's out. Who gains? How this works Hide When a player sits, someone else gets his minutes and shots. This compares his teammates in the games he missed last season with the games he played. Games where another of the team's top three minute-getters also sat are left out, so late-season rest nights don't make bench players look like stars. Only players still on the team are listed.
