The 2021-22 NBA season saw a record number of individual players used. By January 5, 2022, a total of 580 players had taken to the court for one of the 30 NBA teams. This high number can be attributed to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which forced players to miss games and teams to make use of a deeper roster of athletes.
