Parts of the NBA schedule have trickled out for a few days. The much-hyped Christmas Day schedule was released Monday.
On Wednesday, NBA fans finally got the entire slate of games.
Opening night is Oct. 18. The defending champion Golden State Warriors and Stephen Curry open their season at home against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Dubs also will receive their championship rings. The Eastern Conference champion Boston Celtics will face the Philadelphia 76ers. Earlier this week, the league also announced that it will not play any games on Nov. 7 for Election Day.
The Memphis Grizzlies and the Warriors, who had a memorable series in last season’s Western Conference semifinals, will meet in one of the Christmas Day games, granting a Christmas wish for Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant.
Last summer, he lamented that the Grizzlies did not get a Christmas game.
That’s not the case in 2022, and Morant is hyped to face Draymond Green during the holiday slate.
