## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need season statistics for a specific NBA player and have their ESPN player ID. Prefer this over generic sports APIs when you need quick, cost-effective per-player NBA stat lookups without complex authentication.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown player_id returns an error or empty result
- Player not found if the ESPN player ID does not match an active NBA player
- Network timeout or service unavailability on the fly.dev host
- Player_id belonging to a non-NBA league (e.g. WNBA or NFL player) returns no data or wrong data
