The answer
Spoiler for the puzzle of Sunday, August 9, 2026. Today's puzzle is not revealed anywhere on this page.
BOOKER
Devin Booker
G · 2015–2027
Devin Booker's career
Devin Booker played 12 seasons between 2015 and 2027, all of it with the Suns. Over 737 regular-season games he averaged 24.6 points, 4 rebounds and 5.3 assists, finishing with 18,120 career points. He was 5× All-Star and 2× All-NBA.
He entered the league in the 2015 draft, taken 13th 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 long career of 12 seasons he was a primary scoring option at 24.6 points per game.

About the answer
The answer was BOOKER — 6 letters, made up of 5 distinct letters and beginning with B.
The optional hint offered that day read: “24.6 career PPG · 5× All-Star”.
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. Devin Booker qualifies on the first route, with 5 All-Star selections — a repeat selection.
A one-franchise career made the shared-team clue brutal: it stayed grey for almost every guess, and went green only for players from that same roster. 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.
