The answer
Spoiler for the puzzle of Wednesday, July 29, 2026. Today's puzzle is not revealed anywhere on this page.
WASHINGTON
P.J. Washington
F · 2019–2027
P.J. Washington's career
P.J. Washington played 8 seasons between 2019 and 2027, across 2 franchises — Hornets and Mavericks. Over 446 regular-season games he averaged 13.3 points, 6 rebounds and 2.2 assists, finishing with 5,914 career points.
He entered the league in the 2019 draft, taken 12th overall in the lottery. 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 8 seasons he was a rotation piece at 13.3 points per game.

About the answer
The answer was WASHINGTON — 10 letters, made up of 9 distinct letters and beginning with W.
The optional hint offered that day read: “Played for CHA 2020–24, DAL 2024–26”.
Why this was a fair answer
P.J. Washington 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 13.3 points across 446 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.
