Spoiler for the puzzle of Saturday, August 8, 2026. Today's puzzle is not revealed anywhere on this page.
REDD
Michael Redd
G · 2000–2012
Michael Redd's career
Michael Redd played 12 seasons between 2000 and 2012, across 2 franchises — Bucks and Suns. Over 629 regular-season games he averaged 19 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists, finishing with 11,972 career points. He was 1× All-Star and 1× All-NBA.
He entered the league in the 2000 draft, taken 43th overall in the second round, well outside the picks that carry guarantees. 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 long career of 12 seasons he was a consistent starter at 19 points per game.

About the answer
The answer was REDD — 4 letters, made up of 3 distinct letters and beginning with R.
The optional hint offered that day read: “Shooting guard · debuted 2000”.
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. Michael Redd qualifies on the first route, with 1 All-Star selection — a one-time selection.
With 2 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.
