Characters Added for Player Names

Release DateBenefit
09/16/2024Each league-specific Basketball API will now display player names containing special characters and diacritical markings. The change aims to ensure an accurate representation of a player’s given name.

Going forward, player names such as Davis Bertans (id: c1bb78ed-4ce7-4e8c-b30c-06f8148d550a) will change to Dāvis Bertāns in each API endpoint.

Ensure that your systems can handle these special characters and diacritics.

Some examples of player names with special characters include:

- Luka Dončić
- Dāvis Bertāns
- Ömer Aşık
- Nikola Ðurišić.
