The answer
Spoiler for the puzzle of Wednesday, August 26, 2026. Today's puzzle is not revealed anywhere on this page.
Antawn Jamison
F · 1998–2014
Antawn Jamison's career
Antawn Jamison played 16 seasons between 1998 and 2014, across 6 franchises — Warriors, Mavericks, Wizards, Cavaliers, Lakers and Clippers. Over 1,083 regular-season games he averaged 18.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.6 assists, finishing with 20,042 career points. He was 2× All-Star.
He entered the league in the 1998 draft, taken 4th overall, a lottery pick expected to start immediately. That makes him a product of the 1990s, and his career totals should be read against the pace and rules of that period.
Across a long career of 16 seasons he was a consistent starter at 18.5 points per game.

Why this was a fair answer
Answers are never obscure by design: the pool is every NBA All-Star who debuted in the 1969-70 season or later, plus current players carrying a real scoring role. Antawn Jamison qualifies on the first route, with 2 All-Star selections — a repeat selection.
With 6 franchises on his record, the shared-team clue was unusually generous here — a wide range of guesses would have lit it up green and pointed the wrong way as often as the right one. He never won a title, which quietly rules out a large share of the most-guessed names.
