The player’s career table, newest season first: statistics for each competition and season played at club and international level, either overall or split into regular season / playoffs where the league does so.

Worth knowing

There is a row for each competition, season and type, so an NBA season yields two rows (regularSeason and playoffs). statistics shares its keys with /v2/players/{id}/statistics, and passing a row’s league and season ids to that endpoint returns the same figures. Seasons that finished before your plan’s history window are omitted.
