What the correct guess showed

Team	Conf	Div	Pos	Ht	Age	#

Career path: San Antonio Spurs (2011–12 to 2017–18) → Toronto Raptors (2018–19) → LA Clippers (2019–20 to 2025–26) → Toronto Raptors (since 2026–27).
Guessing a current teammate, such as Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley and Jakob Pöltl, turned the Team tile green.
