Throughout the 2021-22 season, the league will feature matchups that celebrate the teams, players, coaches and moments that have defined 75 years of NBA basketball.
The season tips off Oct. 19 with an intriguing doubleheader on TNT. The first game features Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets against the reigning NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks. Then, Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors square off against LeBron James and the revamped Los Angeles Lakers.
But beyond Opening Night, there are dozens of juicy matchups to look forward during the NBA’s 75th season.
Many teams and players took to social media following Friday’s schedule release:
