An all-new NBA Crossover Grid was released on Sept. 4. The basketball trivia game based on the MLB Immaculate Grid remains a popular pastime for many hoops fans waiting for the start of the 2023-24 NBA season.
Monday's puzzle has two special categories: a player who was born outside the United States and a player who won a FIBA World Cup medal post-2000. On that note, let's take a look at the clues for Day 68 of the NBA Crossover Grid:
- Grid 1: Player who played for the Denver Nuggets and San Antonio Spurs
- Grid 2: Player who played for the Denver Nuggets and Chicago Bulls
- Grid 3: Player who played for the Denver Nuggets and won a FIBA World Cup medal post-2000
- Grid 4: Player who played for the Brooklyn Nets and San Antonio Spurs
- Grid 5: Player who played for the Brooklyn Nets and Chicago Bulls
- Grid 6: Player who played for the Brooklyn Nets and won a FIBA World Cup medal post-2000

- Grid 8: Player who played for the Chicago Bulls and was born outside the United States
- Grid 9: Player who was born outside the United States and won a FIBA World Cup medal post-2000
For Monday's NBA Crossover Grid, let's try to answer grids 1 and 4: which San Antonio Spurs players have also played for the Denver Nuggets and Brooklyn Nets?
Antonio McDyess was one of the most underrated power forwards of his generation. McDyess started his NBA career with the Nuggets, even having two stints between 1995 and 2002. He played the final two years of his career with the Spurs from 2009 to 2011.
Meanwhile, LaMarcus Aldridge had his best years with the Portland Trail Blazers. Aldridge moved to the Spurs in 2015 in hopes of winning an NBA championship. He lasted five and a half seasons in San Antonio before joining the Nets in 2021. He played 52 games in Brooklyn in a season and a half.
