Which Knicks players have also played for the Bucks and Suns? NBA Crossover Grid answers for September 18

An all-new NBA Crossover Grid was released on Sept. 18. Based on the MLB's Immaculate Grid, the original basketball grid game remains popular among hoop junkies waiting for the offseason to start. It also has a new feature called "Grid History" introduced last week.

Monday's puzzle has two special categories: a player who lost multiple NBA Finals series and a player who was named to an All-Defensive Team.

On that note, here're all the clues for Day 82 of the NBA Crossover Grid:

• Grid 1: Player who played for the Milwaukee Bucks and New York Knicks
• Grid 2: Player who played for the Milwaukee Bucks and Minnesota Timberwolves
• Grid 3: Player who played for the Milwaukee Bucks and has lost multiple NBA Finals series
• Grid 4: Player who played for the Phoenix Suns and New York Knicks
• Grid 5: Player who played for the Phoenix Suns and Minnesota Timberwolves
• Grid 6: Player who played for the Phoenix Suns and has lost multiple NBA Finals series
• Grid 7: Player who played for the New York Knicks and made an All-Defensive Team
• Grid 8: Player who played for the Minnesota Timberwolves and made an All-Defensive Team
• Grid 9: Player who made an All-Defensive Team and has lost multiple NBA Finals series

For Monday's NBA Crossover Grid, let's try to answer grids 1 and 4: which New York Knicks players have also played for the Milwaukee Bucks and Phoenix Suns?

Bobby Portis plays for the Bucks, serving as the team's backup center and occasional starter. Portis started his career with the Chicago Bulls, but his image was tarnished when he punched a teammate. He began repairing his reputation when he joined the Knicks in 2019.

Meanwhile, Jason Kidd is one of the greatest point guards in NBA history. Kidd had his best years with the New Jersey Nets and won a championship with the Dallas Mavericks.

He began to turn his career around when he was traded to the Suns in 1996. He played his final season with the Knicks in 2012-13.
