The tables (with the exception of a few) in these sports reference sites are within the comments. You would need to pull out the comments, then render these tables with pandas.
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup, Comment
import pandas as pd
headers = {'User-Agent':
'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/47.0.2526.106 Safari/537.36'}
page = "https://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2019.html"
pageTree = requests.get(page, headers=headers)
pageSoup = BeautifulSoup(pageTree.content, 'html.parser')
comments = pageSoup.find_all(string=lambda text: isinstance(text, Comment))
for each in comments:
if 'table' in each and 'id="team-stats-per_game"' in each:
df = pd.read_html(each, attrs = {'id': 'team-stats-per_game'})[0]
Output:
print (df)
