Basketball APIs - New Timestamp Format

We've updated the format of certain timestamp data points in our US Basketball APIs. Going forward, timestamps will use the 2025-10-28T22:56:48+00:00 format instead of 2025-10-28T22:56:48Z.

Both formats follow the ISO 8601 standard and represent the same UTC time. However, older games or data may still include the previous format.

This update applies to the following fields:

game.scheduled — in Daily Schedule and Schedule endpoints
player.updated — in Player Profile, Free Agents, and Team Profile endpoints
last_modified — in Daily Change Log and Daily Transfers endpoints

☑️ Sample Requests
