Minutes Played (MIN)

Usually, a basketball game is played for 40 minutes (4 quarters of 10 minutes each). There are differences, of course, for example in the NBA, where there are 48 minutes played per game (4x12). Some youth competitions also can be played in a different format. However, we can calculate the minutes each player has played in a single game and that is what the column shows.

Fixes to the logic used to calculate what time counts towards total minutes played to improve accuracy.

Note, Instat Reports and API products remain unchanged and will continue to use legacy calculations, so you may see some differences compared to the web platform.
