May be some of our knowledgable users could shed some light on this.

well...if its a job, and they would be starving without the job, i suppose it is okay to skip fasting. but the days must be made up. and i doubt fasting could be forsaken the days they don't play. i've fasted and played stuff before as have my friends. i don't think it makes you any weaker than you already are.
and of course as tigers eye mentioned, hakeem olajuwon and shareef abdur-rahim actually achieved statistical boosts during ramadan. tho its one thing to play in a dome at 68 degrees F, and under the sun at 30 deg C.
whilst traveling, fasting can be made up later. but during home games, i suppose fasting could be postponed.
but i don't know to give a fatwa.
this is just my personal opinion.
