Spoiler for the puzzle of Monday, July 27, 2026. Today's puzzle is not revealed anywhere on this page.
GRANGER
Danny Granger
F · 2005–2015
Danny Granger's career
Danny Granger played 10 seasons between 2005 and 2015, across 3 franchises — Pacers, Clippers and Heat. Over 586 regular-season games he averaged 16.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists, finishing with 9,855 career points. He was 1× All-Star.
He entered the league in the 2005 draft, taken 17th overall in the first round. That makes him a product of the 2000s, and his career totals should be read against the pace and rules of that period.
Across a solid career of 10 seasons he was a consistent starter at 16.8 points per game.

About the answer
The answer was GRANGER — 7 letters, made up of 5 distinct letters and beginning with G.
The optional hint offered that day read: “Small forward · debuted 2005”.
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. Danny Granger qualifies on the first route, with 1 All-Star selection — a one-time selection.
With 3 franchises on his record, the shared-team clue was a genuine filter rather than a giveaway. He never won a title, which quietly rules out a large share of the most-guessed names.
