An all-new NBA Crossover Grid was released on Aug. 29. The original basketball trivia game based on MLB's Immaculate Grid remains popular among hoops fans waiting for the long offseason to be over.

Tuesday's puzzle has two special categories: a player who had at least six blocks in a single game and a player who had his jersey number retired. On that note, let's take a look at the clues for Day 62 of the NBA Crossover Grid:

• Grid 1: Player who played for the Memphis Grizzlies and Philadelphia 76ers
• Grid 2: Player who played for the Memphis Grizzlies and Washington Wizards
• Grid 3: Player who played for the Memphis Grizzlies and had six or more blocks in a game
• Grid 4: Player who played for the Dallas Mavericks and Philadelphia 76ers

For Tuesday's NBA Crossover Grid, let's try to answer grids 4 and 5: which Dallas Mavericks players have also played for the Philadelphia 76ers and Washington Wizards?

JaVale McGee plays for the Mavericks after signing a contract with them last offseason. McGree is in his second stint in Dallas, having played there in the 2015-16 season. He played six games for the Sixers in the 2014-15 season after arriving from the Denver Nuggets.

Meanwhile, Kristaps Porzingis was with the Mavericks from 2019 to 2022. He formed a good partnership with Luka Doncic but was eventually traded to the Wizards midway through the 2021-22 NBA season. He will play for the Boston Celtics next season.
