WNBA API - 'Reset Timeout' Event Type
July 21st, 2025
To improve the accuracy and completeness of our basketball data, we are introducing support for a new event type: resettimeout
. This change is available in our WNBA, NBA, and G-League APIs, though is only used in WNBA currently.
A 'reset timeout' can be used in the final 2 minutes of the 4th quarter or OT. It allows a team to advance the ball to mid-court and make substitutions, but does not allow for a team huddle.
