The upcoming 2024–25 NBA season is gearing up for an electrifying opening night on October 22. At TD Garden, the Boston Celtics, fresh from their 18th championship, will celebrate their success, receiving their rings and raising their new banner as they take on the New York Knicks. Last season, the Celtics secured the title with a victory over the Dallas Mavericks in the Finals.
Simultaneously, the Los Angeles Lakers will kick off their season by hosting the Minnesota Timberwolves. Led by LeBron James, the Lakers aim to kick-start their campaign with a strong performance against the Timberwolves, who are led by the emerging talent of Anthony Edwards.
Some key upcoming games to look forward to this season include the rematch between the Celtics and the Mavericks in Dallas on January 25 and in Boston on February 6, marking the first showdown since the Celtics’ Finals victory.
Fans are eagerly anticipating Klay Thompson’s return to the Bay Area on November 12 as he faces his former team, the Golden State Warriors, after signing with the Dallas Mavericks this summer.
Another game to watch out for is the matchup between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Milwaukee Bucks on October 23 in Philadelphia as both teams aim to start their new campaigns on a high note after disappointing playoff exits due to injuries to Joel Embiid and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
