An all-new NBA Immaculate Grid was released on Aug. 24. Based on the popular MLB Immaculate Grid, its basketball counterpart remains popular among hoops fans waiting for the 2023-24 NBA season.
There are no special categories for Thursday's grid, which means it only involves NBA teams. Here're the clues for the 31st basketball Immaculate Grid:
- Grid 1: Player who played for the Atlanta Hawks and Detroit Pistons
- Grid 2: Player who played for the Atlanta Hawks and Brooklyn Nets
- Grid 3: Player who played for the Atlanta Hawks and New Orleans Pelicans
- Grid 4: Player who played for the Washington Wizards and Detroit Pistons
- Grid 5: Player who played for the Washington Wizards and Brooklyn Nets
- Grid 6: Player who played for the Washington Wizards and New Orleans Pelicans
- Grid 7: Player who played for the Phoenix Suns and Detroit Pistons
- Grid 8: Player who played for the Phoenix Suns and Brooklyn Nets
- Grid 9: Player who played for the Phoenix Suns and New Orleans Pelicans
For Thursday's NBA Immaculate Grid, let's try to answer grids 1 and 3 which Atlanta Hawks players have also played for the Detroit Pistons and New Orleans Pelicans?
Josh Smith is one of the few NBA players who played for all three franchises. Smith was a high-flying star for the Hawks from 2004 to 2013. He left in free agency to join the Pistons on a four-year deal but was waived midway through his second season.
Smith bounced around the league, playing for the Houston Rockets and LA Clippers, as well as in China. He last suited up for the Pelicans in 2017, appearing in just three games. An alternative answer for Grid 1 is Saddiq Bey while an option for Grid 2 is Rajon Rondo.
