[SuspectUsual]

It does

 

[GRALISTAIR]

Although I dont follow basketball closely , many of my American friends do.
Also, I know American sports mentality about being obsessed with statistics.
In basketball iirc, the key ones are
1) Points
2) Assists
3) Rebounds
4) Steals
5) Blocks

I saw an Atlanta vs Toronto game and all stats were shown for each player.

So I infer/assume it is a minimum number (5?????) in each of those categories in a single game possibly?
