In October of 2012 Stotts began building a comprehensive NBA injury database.

He has cataloged the careers of over 1,200 players and has a complete set of data dating back to the 2005-06 season. This website is his way of sharing the fruits of labor and helping apply statistical analysis to injuries and sports.
