Cole Anthony scored 30 points in 21 minutes 50 seconds (1,310 seconds; 10/21 FG, 3/7 3P, 7/9 FT) on a reported post-calf-injury minutes restriction. That is the fewest minutes for a 30-point game since at least 2015-16 among box rows with minutes recorded; next is Jo Lual-Acuil Jr with 33 in 23:02 (1,382 seconds). The restriction is from commentary and not verified in data.

On paceProjection
Projection only: at tonight's rate of points per minute, what would Anthony score over 30 or 36 minutes, and how does that compare with the box-score single-game highs since 2015-16?
This frames the 'what if the restriction lifts' angle the commentators raised. It must be labelled as a projection, and the checked number is tonight's rate.

Context
Since 2015-16, how many players reached 30 points in their first box-score appearance for a club?
This adds debut framing without relying on the unverified restriction claim. It is scoped to first appearances within the box-score window, so it doesn't overclaim career debuts.
