What does TO stand for in the basketball box score?

Answer 1

TO is a term for Turnovers. A turnover is when the player gives the other team the ball by accident (i.e. dribbling off their foot, passing it to the opposite team,etc.). The lower the TO's, the better the player that game.

Answer 2

TO is short for turnover, which describes a situation where a team loses possession of the ball. An example of a turnover in a dead-ball situation is failing to place a ball into play within 5 seconds. In a live-ball situation, turnovers are charged against a team when a player steps out of bounds, makes an errant pass that results in a steal, or failing to bring the ball past the half court line within 8 seconds (NBA). These are only examples, and are not all-encompassing. The stat has been available since the 1978 season in NBA.
