Key indicators of a player's declining form typically include a noticeable drop in performance metrics such as scoring, assists, or defensive contributions, often reflected in lower statistics compared to previous seasons. Additionally, increased frequency of injuries or fatigue can hinder a player's ability to perform consistently at a high level. Changes in decision-making, such as more turnovers or less effective shot selection, can also signal decline. Furthermore, a lack of impact in crucial moments of games, diminished physicality or speed on the field or court, and decreased engagement or motivation during practices and games are often telltale signs of a player struggling with their form.
