The answer
Spoiler for the puzzle of Wednesday, July 29, 2026. Today's puzzle is not revealed anywhere on this page.
Trey Murphy III
F · 2021–2027
Trey Murphy III's career
Trey Murphy III played 6 seasons between 2021 and 2027, all of it with the Pelicans. Over 317 regular-season games he averaged 15.4 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists, finishing with 4,868 career points.
He entered the league in the 2021 draft, taken 17th overall in the first round. That makes him a product of the 2020s, and his career totals should be read against the pace and rules of that period.
Across a short career of 6 seasons he was a consistent starter at 15.4 points per game.

Why this was a fair answer
Trey Murphy III was never an All-Star, so he reaches the answer pool by the second route: current players with a genuine offensive role, at least 12 points per game and 150 career games. At 15.4 points across 317 games he clears that bar comfortably, which is why a player without the honours of the pool's headline names can still turn up as an answer.
A one-franchise career made the shared-team clue brutal: it stayed grey for almost every guess, and went green only for players from that same roster. A recent debut meant the arrow pointed forward for nearly every guess, which narrows the field quickly once you trust it. He never won a title, which quietly rules out a large share of the most-guessed names.
