Very new to Unix and experimenting with a Digital Ocean droplet. Why can I successfully ping stats.nba.com whereas ping stats.nba.com results in ping: unknown host stats.nba.com/stats

As far as i know...you pinghosts, notpathsorhosts + paths. You may try curl o wget to "ping" a host+path and parse the http code in the response.

I agree with @bistoco. I have just tried pinging a page that does existwww.nba.com/standingsand it too returnsName or service not known. So you will not be able to ping a path. Only the host can be pinged.

You may try curl o wget to "ping" a host+path and parse the http code in the response.
UPDATE 1:
You may want to check the path.
For stats.nba.com/stats , host exists, but path doesn't.
Doing a curl call, i get 2 redirects
1.- http to https
2.- /stats/ to /error/, which return 200 OK instead of the expected 404 Not Found-
curl -sSL -D - stats.nba.com/stats -o /dev/null 2>&1 | grep -E '^HTTP|^Location'
Filter headers
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Location: https://stats.nba.com/stats
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
Location: https://stats.nba.com/error/
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
