NBA Command Palette Extension
All the things you may desire for the NBA right at your fingertips.
š Overview
NBA Command Palette Extension brings real-time NBA game information directly into your Windows Command Palette. Stay updated on games, scores, schedules, standings, and player stats without leaving your workflow.
> ā ļø Work in Progress: This extension is actively being developed and is available on the Microsoft Store. Standings now open team rosters with Enter, and icons no longer depend on network access. Next up: favorite-team preferences and auto-refresh for live games.
āØ Features

Browse all NBA games for the upcoming week with rich details:
- Live game information with team records (e.g., Lakers (14-4) vs. Pelicans (4-14))
- Real-time scores for games in progress
- Game status indicators with quarter and time remaining
- Team logos and visual indicators
- Smart search with fuzzy matching to quickly find your favorite teams
- Date and time in EST with automatic timezone conversion

- Player headshots and details (jersey number, position)
š„ Team Rosters
Browse complete team rosters with comprehensive player information:

- Player details view with bio, physical stats, and career information
- Injury status tracking with visual indicators (available/injured)
- Player attributes: position, jersey number, height, weight, age, experience

š League Standings
Check the playoff picture at a glance:
- Eastern and Western Conference shown as separate sections
- Seeded 1ā15 with each team's win/loss record
- Filter by conference
- Enter opens the team's roster; Ctrl+Enter opens the team on ESPN
- Reigning champion tagged with a gold š badge
- Team logos on every row
> New in 0.0.5.0: > - Standings rows now open the team's roster on Enter; the ESPN team page moves to Ctrl+Enter. > - Rosters load again. ESPN began rejecting the endpoint the extension used, which showed as "No roster data available"; rosters now come from the same host as standings. > - Icons work offline. The league logo ships inside the package, so the top-level commands and page headers no longer depend on ESPN's CDN. > - The 2026 championship celebration is retired. The reigning champion keeps a gold š 2026 Champions tag in the standings. > - Preseason polish: the rank is hidden until ESPN reports real seeds, and the standings subtitle separator renders correctly again. > > 0.0.3.0: every list page (Games, Standings, Team Leaders, Rosters) groups its results into labeled sections with headers instead of one flat list.
š Installation
> Upgrading from 0.0.1.x? Those builds shipped as an Inno .exe that
> registered a COM server but wasn't discoverable by PowerToys Command
> Palette. Uninstall them from Settings ā Apps ā Installed apps
> (search "NBA Command Palette Extension") before installing 0.0.2.0.
Option 1: Microsoft Store
Install from the Microsoft Store listing ā this is the recommended path. The Store signs and delivers the MSIX, and PowerToys picks it up automatically via the Command Palette AppExtension contract.
Option 2: winget
winget install joadoumie.NBACommandPaletteExtension
winget routes to the Store listing under the hood, so this is equivalent to Option 1.
Option 3: From source (for contributors)
- Clone the repository.
- Open
NBAExtension.slnin Visual Studio 2022 (17.12+) or later. Install these via the Visual Studio Installer first:- Windows application development workload (Windows App SDK + WinUI + the single-project MSIX deploy tooling)
- Desktop development with C++ workload ā or at minimum the MSVC v14x C++ x64/x86 build tools (the CsWinRT AOT step shells out to MSVC)
- Windows 11 SDK 10.0.26100 (matches the project's target platform)
- Set the active platform to x64 (or ARM64) and Release, then
Deploy the
NBAExtensionproject. Deploying registers the MSIX on your machine so PowerToys can find it. - Open PowerToys Command Palette and search for "NBA".
š® Usage
