Which Knicks players have also played for the Rockets and Mavericks? NBA Immaculate Grid answers for September 14

The NBA Immaculate Grid released its latest puzzle on Sept. 14. The original grid makers introduced its basketball version nearly two months ago.

It remains a popular game among hoops fans waiting for the NBA offseason to end. Unlike its counterparts, Crossover Grid and HoopGrids, the Immaculate Grid remains true to its rules of nine guesses per puzzle.

It's Day 52 of the NBA Immaculate Grid, and there's one special category: a player who made an All-NBA Team. On that note, let's have a look at the clues for Thursday's puzzle:

• Grid 1: Player who played for the Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets
• Grid 2: Player who played for the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets
• Grid 3: Player who played for the Brooklyn Nets and made an All-NBA Team
• Grid 4: Player who played for the Milwaukee Bucks and Houston Rockets
• Grid 5: Player who played for the New York Knicks and Houston Rockets
• Grid 6: Player who played for the Houston Rockets and made an All-NBA Team
• Grid 7: Player who played for the Milwaukee Bucks and Dallas Mavericks
• Grid 8: Player who played for the New York Knicks and Dallas Mavericks
• Grid 9: Player who played for the Dallas Mavericks and made an All-NBA Team

Let's try to answer grids 5 and 8 for Thursday's NBA Immaculate Grid: which New York Knicks players have also played for the Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks?

Carmelo Anthony is mostly known for his stint with the Denver Nuggets and the Knicks. However, he's more loved in New York and had his best years there.

He became a journeyman after getting traded by the Knicks in 2017, and one of his stops was the Rockets. He played just 10 games in Houston before he got shipped to Chicago and waived.

Meanwhile, Kristaps Porzingis suited up for both the Knicks and Mavericks. He was a prized draft pick by the Knicks in 2015, and fans considered him as the franchise's savior. However, New York traded him to Dallas in 2019 after four seasons.
