In basketball statistics, “PD” typically stands for “Personal Fouls Disqualifications” or “Personal DQs.” It represents the number of personal fouls that lead to a player’s disqualification from the game. This usually occurs after a player accumulates a certain number of fouls, depending on the league or level of play (e.g., five fouls in college basketball, six in the NBA). Once a player reaches this threshold, they are disqualified from further participation in the game.
However, the specific meaning of “PD” could vary depending on the context or league, so it’s always a good idea to check the stats legend or key for clarification if it’s seen in a particular report or dataset.
