season_id 22017 missing within game table

Corresponds to the 2017-18 NBA Season, the game table does not appear to have any observations from that season.

game <- read_csv(unz("basketball.zip", "csv/game.csv"))
 game |> filter(season_id > 22014) |>  group_by(season_id) |> tally()
# A tibble: 7 × 2
  season_id     n
      <dbl> <int>
1     22015  1230
2     22016  1230
3     22018  1230
4     22019  1059
5     22020  1080
6     22021  1230
7     22022  1018

Looks like it might be that the entire season is missing as I don't see it in the play-by-play table either. The 4th and 5th digits in game_id should correspond with the beginning year of that season and 17 is missing:

pbp <- read_csv(unz("basketball.zip", "csv/play_by_play.csv"))
pbp |> mutate(szn = as.numeric(str_sub(game_id, 4, 5))) |> filter(szn > 15, szn < 25) |> group_by(szn) |> tally()
# A tibble: 6 × 2
    szn      n
  <dbl>  <int>
1    16 542619
2    18 548716
3    19 476616
4    20 474335
5    21 538810
6    22 456109
