Get the WNBA cross-source team crosswalk

Description

Build a wide, one-row-per-team-per-season crosswalk linking ESPN, the WNBA Stats API, and Fox Sports team identities, keyed on espn_team_id. Yahoo columns are placeholders (NA) until that source is implemented.

Usage

Arguments

season	Season year (numeric). Defaults to the most recent WNBA season.
.schedule	Internal. An already-fetched wnba_schedule() frame, supplied by wnba_schedule_crosswalk() to avoid a duplicate CDN request. Leave NULL.
