The answer
Spoiler for the puzzle of Sunday, September 6, 2026. Today's puzzle is not revealed anywhere on this page.
D'Angelo Russell
G · 2015–2026
D'Angelo Russell's career
D'Angelo Russell played 11 seasons between 2015 and 2026, across 5 franchises — Lakers, Nets, Warriors, Timberwolves and Mavericks. Over 655 regular-season games he averaged 17 points, 3.3 rebounds and 5.6 assists, finishing with 11,132 career points. He was 1× All-Star.
He entered the league in the 2015 draft, taken 2th overall, a lottery pick expected to start immediately. That makes him a product of the 2010s, and his career totals should be read against the pace and rules of that period.
Across a solid career of 11 seasons he was a consistent starter at 17 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. D'Angelo Russell qualifies on the first route, with 1 All-Star selection — a one-time selection.
With 5 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. 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.
