Overview
- ESPN reverted its NBA box score in the app to the familiar order with points first, field-goal shooting next, and combined rebounds before other stats.
- The update arrived shortly after Tim Legler criticized the new layout on his All NBA podcast and his show’s account highlighted the change.
- The season-opening redesign had split offensive and defensive rebounds and separated two- and three-point shooting, which many users found harder to scan.
- During the switch-back, some web box scores displayed inconsistent or broken stat orders, suggesting additional fixes may be required.
- ESPN has not issued a statement on the decision, and theories tying the original change to betting-focused presentation remain unconfirmed.
