The 2024-25 NBA schedule has been released, with notable matchups on opening night.
The Boston Celtics kick off the season against the New York Knicks on ring night. That matchup will be followed by a game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Los Angeles Lakers.
The NBA's Christmas Day games are also star-studded.
The Knicks open the day facing Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs, followed by the Dallas Mavericks hosting the Timberwolves and the Philadelphia 76ers traveling to face the Celtics. LeBron James and the Lakers play Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors in the next matchup, before the night concludes with the Denver Nuggets taking on the Phoenix Suns.
NBA teams had creative ways to announce their schedules.
Minnesota used gold medalist Suni Lee to open its video, while New York used members of “Alumni Row.” Tony Allen, whose jersey will be retired this season, provided commentary for the Memphis Grizzlies’ introduction. Phoenix tested its hometown opponents’ ability to withstand the sun.
Below is a look at each team's schedule as revealed on social media.
In Atlanta, basketball will always come back to you ❤️
