The answer
Spoiler for the puzzle of Sunday, September 6, 2026. Today's puzzle is not revealed anywhere on this page.
PORZINGIS
Kristaps Porziņģis
C-F · 2015–2027
Kristaps Porziņģis's career
Kristaps Porziņģis played 12 seasons between 2015 and 2027, across 6 franchises — Knicks, Mavericks, Wizards, Celtics, Hawks and Warriors. Over 533 regular-season games he averaged 19.5 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists, finishing with 10,372 career points. He was 1× All-Star and 1× champion.
He entered the league in the 2015 draft, taken 4th overall, a lottery pick expected to start immediately. 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 consistent starter at 19.5 points per game.

About the answer
The answer was PORZINGIS — 9 letters, made up of 8 distinct letters and beginning with P.
The optional hint offered that day read: “Played for NYK 2016–18, DAL 2020–22, WAS 2022–23, BOS 2024–25, …”.
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. Kristaps Porziņģis qualifies on the first route, with 1 All-Star selection — a one-time selection.
With 6 franchises on his record, the shared-team clue was unusually generous here — a wide range of guesses would have lit it up green and pointed the wrong way as often as the right one. A recent debut meant the arrow pointed forward for nearly every guess, which narrows the field quickly once you trust it. The 1 championship ring were another strong signal — most of the pool has none.
