[NBA] Comments that don't warrant a thread (JAN)

I hate to be like the "I asked ChatGPT" but I asked ChatGPT "what is the worst individual +/- stat line for a single game recorded by one player in NBA history":
The worst individual plus-minus ever recorded in a single NBA game belongs to Manny Harris, who posted a –57 while playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers against the Los Angeles Lakers on January 11, 2011.

Here are the details:

  • Game: Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Los Angeles Lakers
  • Date: January 11, 2011
  • Final Score: Lakers 112, Cavaliers 57
  • Manny Harris’ plus/minus: –57
That game is infamous as one of the most lopsided in modern NBA history — Cleveland lost by 55 points, and Harris’ –57 remains the lowest single-game plus/minus ever recorded since the stat has been officially tracked (starting in the 2000–01 season).

So YES, -60 is either the worst recorded +/- for one player in a single game, or damned close.
