It is The Athletic who announces it: the NBA season will begin on Tuesday, October 22 and for “theopening night ” of the 2023/24 season, we will be treated to a superb Celtics – Knicks in the East, and a great opposition between the Lakers and the Wolves. The opportunity for LeBron James and Anthony Davis to meet Anthony Edwards, but also Rudy Gobert.
After having extended their strong men, but also recruited Mikal Bridges, the Knicks appear as very serious outsiders in the East, and it is the ideal opponent to offer a great poster to Boston where the Celtics will receive their NBA champion rings.

For this “double header”, the NBA has once again chosen the Lakers, now the sole tenants of the Crypto.com Arena. The opportunity to see three Olympic champions, and perhaps Bronny James, one of the rare new faces at the Lakers.
After the revelation of this “opening night”, the rest of the 2024/25 calendar should be known in the coming days, but we already note that the season will start the same week as in 2023, and the players who participated in the Olympic Games will have two good months to be at 100% for the resumption.
