The answer
Spoiler for the puzzle of Sunday, September 27, 2026. Today's puzzle is not revealed anywhere on this page.
DURANT
Kevin Durant
F · 2007–2027
Kevin Durant's career
Kevin Durant played 20 seasons between 2007 and 2027, across 5 franchises — Thunder, Warriors, Nets, Suns and Rockets. Over 1,201 regular-season games he averaged 27.1 points, 6.9 rebounds and 4.4 assists, finishing with 32,597 career points. He was 1× MVP, 2× Finals MVP, 16× All-Star, 12× All-NBA, Rookie of the Year, 2× champion and member of the NBA 75th Anniversary Team.
He entered the league in the 2007 draft, taken 2th overall, a lottery pick expected to start immediately. 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 unusually long career of 20 seasons he was a primary scoring option at 27.1 points per game.

About the answer
The answer was DURANT — 6 letters, made up of 6 distinct letters and beginning with D.
The optional hint offered that day read: “Played for OKC 2008–16, GSW 2017–19, BKN 2021–23, PHX 2023–25, …”.
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. Kevin Durant qualifies on the first route, with 16 All-Star selections — one of the most decorated players of his generation. He was later named to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team.
With 5 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. The 2 championship rings were another strong signal — most of the pool has none.
