This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.
On behalf of the National Basketball Association Research Committee, the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA), and the National Basketball Association (NBA), and in line with recent efforts by the NBA and other professional sports leagues in the U.S. to promote high-quality evidence informed athlete health and injury-related research, we would like to address an increasingly concerning trend of peer-reviewed publications that rely on publicly available data (PAD) to employ questionable research practices (QRPs).
