The answer
Spoiler for the puzzle of Sunday, September 20, 2026. Today's puzzle is not revealed anywhere on this page.
Bennedict Mathurin
F-G · 2022–2027
Bennedict Mathurin's career
Bennedict Mathurin played 5 seasons between 2022 and 2027, across 2 franchises — Pacers and Clippers. Over 263 regular-season games he averaged 16.2 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.9 assists, finishing with 4,263 career points.
He entered the league in the 2022 draft, taken 6th overall in the lottery. 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 5 seasons he was a consistent starter at 16.2 points per game.

Why this was a fair answer
Bennedict Mathurin 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 16.2 points across 263 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.
With 2 franchises on his record, the shared-team clue was a genuine filter rather than a giveaway. 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.
