Thursday's puzzle has two special categories: a player who made a game-winning buzzer-beating shot and a player who scored at least 20 points in a single quarter. On that note, here are the clues for Day 63 of the NBA Crossover Grid:

• Grid 1: Player who played for the Denver Nuggets and Milwaukee Bucks

For Thursday's NBA Crossover Grid, let's try to answer grids 1 and 3: which Denver Nuggets players have also played for the Milwaukee Bucks and Phoenix Suns?

DeMarcus Cousins was mostly known for his stint with the Sacramento Kings from 2010 to 2017. Cousins became a journeyman due to injuries. He last played in the NBA during the 2021-22 season, where he suited up for both the Bucks and Nuggets.

Meanwhile, Torrey Craig began his NBA career in 2017 with the Nuggets. He spent three seasons in Denver before leaving in free agency. He signed with the Bucks and was traded midseason to the Suns. After half a season with the Indiana Pacers, Craig was re-acquired by Phoenix in February 2022.
