About This Page

Why doesn't every day have an entry?
Because every entry here is a verified, dated fact — not filler. Most days in these two careers went undocumented by the sources this site relies on. Rather than invent a milestone to fill a gap, the day is simply left blank.
Where do these dates come from?
Basketball-Reference, Sports-Reference, Wikipedia, NBA.com and Proballers, cross-checked where more than one source was available. Each entry lists its source.
Can I suggest a date that's missing?
Yes — message @jex.tradingcards on Instagram. A specific game, a specific box score, or a specific transaction, with a source, is exactly what this page is built to add.

Sources and method

Compiled from Basketball-Reference, Sports-Reference, Wikipedia, NBA.com, Proballers and ESPN. Verified July 2026. Every entry lists its source; where sources disagreed on a detail, the more specific one (a box score over a summary) was preferred.

This is a selective record, not an exhaustive one. Only dated, verifiable facts appear here — nothing is estimated or inferred to fill a gap.
