Methodology: Returning share is the portion of a team's 2025-26 minutes, points, games started and win shares (counted only with that team) earned by players who are on the same team's official 2026-27 roster. Roster continuity is the average of the four shares, weighted equally. Stats are from Basketball-Reference. Rosters are from NBA.com, collected Oct. 20, 2026. The score measures who left, not who arrived, and rosters can change after Oct. 20. Players were matched by name.
