NBA LP runs hot [cpu usage ~100%] when using 'full screen' or streaming advertisements; streaming gets distorted as well!
Anyone else?
my configuration:
MacBook Pro M1 [macOS Sequoia 15.1, Private Relay: OFF]
Safari 18.1 [Enable Content Blockers, Autoplay: Never, Pop-up Windows: Block & Notify, Screen Sharing: Deny, Location: Allow]
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 15.1
I have the exact same issue running MBP M1P Sequoia 15.2 and Safari 18.2.
NBA League Pass ticket number - 2630495
I have performed all the recommended troubleshooting steps as per NBA League Pass Support and as others have stated nothing has resolved it.
The final recommendation from NBA LP Support is to perform a factory reset on my MBP, however I haven't had the time to try this yet.
For context I have tried the following browsers:
None of them have the CPU usage spike, however, they are not considered "secure" browsers by NBA LP and therefore only stream live games in a max of 720p. Games look absolute trash on a 1440p 27" monitor. This is not acceptable in this day and age as far as I'm concerned. Especially given the cost of LP.
NBA LP have essentially said they won't investigate any further as they cannot reproduce the issue on their end and have closed the support ticket.
I’ve also deleted the NBA cache, closed all tabs, restarted Safari, accessed NBA.com, accepted cookies, accessed a game, and ‘live’ streaming will eventually ‘freeze’; did you contact NBA Support?
I have the same issue since I updated to macOS Sequoia
NBA LP suggested using a 'Private Window';
I tried it but the live streaming issues were not resolved;

cool idea, tried it, didnt fix :(
thanks anyway
BTW, I can 'continuously stream' NBA games, without interrupts, degraded screen resolution, or screen freezes on my iPhone 11 {iOS 18.2.1}!
During February, using the 'In Studio' stream, I have been 'continuously streaming' NBA games, without interrupts, degraded screen resolution, or screen freezes!
Anyone else?
During February 2025, using the 'Studio Show' stream, I have been able to 'continuously stream' NBA games, without streaming interrupts, degraded screen resolution, or screen freezes!
Anyone else?
I just tried it, but unfortunately, after 5-10 minutes, the CPU went back to 100%. The same happens in Private Browsing mode.
Thanks. I will send.
