from sportsreference.nba.teams import Teams
from sportsreference.nba.schedule import Schedule

teams = Teams() gives an http error - "HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found"

When trying to get the schedule for 'BKN', 'CHA', 'PHX' I get the same http error
Schedule('BKN', year=2020).dataframe

Try this for teams

teams = Teams(year=2020)

For the schedules, the abbreviations you're using I don't believe are correct. Try, BRK, CHO, and PHO.

Hey @arun1125, thanks for filing this issue! Apologies for not getting to this sooner. Sadly, it looks like this is a result of the continued pandemic as the delays in the NBA season have caused the logic used in the default season selector invalid, as the package assumes the 2021 season should be getting ready to begin at this point. @scaratozzolo gave an awesome workaround in the meantime (thanks Scott!!!) which looks like it is working for you, but I am finalizing a patch that handles the logic for this scenario and will push it out shortly.

Thank you both for working together to identify the issue and find a workaround! I will close this issues once everything works as expected and the original functionality is restored, ie:

from sportsreference.nba.teams import Teams

teams = Teams()
