克莱·汤普森(Klay Thompson)将在2024-25赛季阿联酋航空NBA联赛杯的第一个比赛日重返湾区。
11月12日，汤普森将率领他的新东家达拉斯独行侠队在旧金山挑战金州勇士队，这也是周二公布的NBA联赛杯完整赛程的一部分。
NBA常规赛剩余赛程将于周四在ESPN的“NBA Today”节目中揭晓。
这位未来的名人堂后卫曾与斯蒂芬·库里(Stephen Curry)并肩作战，组成了NBA历史上最强大的后场投篮组合。今年休赛期，汤普森与独行侠队签署了一份为期三年、价值5000万美元的合同，如今他将重返效力了13个赛季的地方。
这并非第二届NBA季中锦标赛揭幕战当晚唯一一场重磅对决。在TNT电视台转播的全国直播的两场比赛中，率先开球的是纽约尼克斯队客场挑战费城76人队。
这两支球队在上赛季经历了一场惊心动魄的六场首轮季后赛系列赛，并在今年休赛期都做出了重磅交易：尼克斯队交易得到了米卡尔·布里奇斯(Mikal Bridges)，而76人队则签下了保罗·乔治(Paul George)。
ESPN的比赛将于11月15日星期五开始，届时勒布朗·詹姆斯(LeBron James)和维克多·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)将上演对决，这两位球星曾在奥运会男篮决赛中展开激烈交锋。卫冕冠军洛杉矶湖人队将前往圣安东尼奥挑战马刺队，随后勇士队将在第二场比赛中迎战贾·莫兰特(Ja Morant)领衔的孟菲斯灰熊队。
与去年一样，NBA联赛杯小组赛将在周二（11月12日、19日、26日和12月3日，TNT电视台将进行全国直播）和周五（11月15日、22日和29日，ESPN将进行全国直播）进行。在这些比赛日，NBA只会安排联赛杯的比赛。每支球队都将进行四场小组赛，与同组的另外三支球队各交手一次（两个主场，两个客场）。
各小组是根据上赛季的常规赛排名在上个月抽签决定的，分组情况如下：
东部A组：尼克斯队、奥兰多魔术队、76人队、布鲁克林篮网队、夏洛特黄蜂队
东部B组：密尔沃基雄鹿队、印第安纳步行者队、迈阿密热火队、多伦多猛龙队、底特律活塞队
东部C组：波士顿凯尔特人队、克利夫兰骑士队、芝加哥公牛队、亚特兰大老鹰队、华盛顿奇才队
西部A组：明尼苏达森林狼队、洛杉矶快船队、萨克拉门托国王队、休斯顿火箭队、波特兰开拓者队
西部B组：俄克拉荷马城雷霆队、菲尼克斯太阳队、湖人队、犹他爵士队、马刺队
西部C组：丹佛掘金队、独行侠队、新奥尔良鹈鹕队、勇士队、灰熊队
六个小组的第一名以及东西部战绩最好的小组第二名将晋级淘汰赛。四分之一决赛将于12月10日星期二和12月11日星期三在排名靠前的球队主场举行。获胜者将晋级12月14日星期六在拉斯维加斯举行的半决赛，决赛也将于12月17日在拉斯维加斯进行。
ESPN转播的其他比赛包括：11月22日步行者队和雄鹿队将在密尔沃基展开较量，这两支球队在上赛季的常规赛中就曾上演过令人难忘的对决，最终步行者队在季后赛首轮淘汰了雄鹿队；随后，卢卡·东契奇(Luka Doncic)将率领独行侠队前往丹佛挑战尼古拉·约基奇(Nikola Jokic)领衔的掘金队，这两支球队是过去两届西部冠军。
11月29日（黑色星期五），快船队将前往明尼苏达挑战安东尼·爱德华兹(Anthony Edwards)领衔的森林狼队，随后谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大(Shai Gilgeous-Alexander)领衔的雷霆队将在洛杉矶对阵詹姆斯领衔的湖人队。当天，NBA TV还将在下午转播三场比赛：美国东部时间中午12点，尼克斯队对阵黄蜂队；下午2:30，骑士队对阵老鹰队；下午5点，鹈鹕队对阵灰熊队。
在剩余三个比赛日中，最引人注目的比赛包括：11月19日，骑士队将在波士顿与卫冕冠军凯尔特人队展开对决，重演上赛季季后赛第二轮的较量，随后雷霆队将在圣安东尼奥挑战马刺队；11月26日，雄鹿队将客场挑战热火队，随后湖人队将在菲尼克斯对阵太阳队；在小组赛最后一个比赛日，魔术队将在麦迪逊广场花园迎战尼克斯队，随后勇士队将在丹佛对阵掘金队。

Klay’s return to Bay to kick off NBA Cup schedule
- Tim Bontemps, ESPNAug 13, 2024, 03:10 PM ET
Klay Thompson’s return to the Bay Area will come on the first night of the 2024-25 Emirates NBA Cup schedule.
Thompson and his new team, the Dallas Mavericks, will face the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco on Nov. 12, part of the full NBA Cup schedule unveiled Tuesday.
The rest of the NBA regular-season schedule will be revealed Thursday on ESPN’s “NBA Today.”
The future Hall of Fame guard, who formed the greatest shooting backcourt in NBA history alongside Stephen Curry, signed a three-year, $50 million deal with Dallas this offseason and will now go back to the place he called home for the first 13 seasons of his career.
That won’t be the only blockbuster game on the opening night of the schedule for the second edition of the league’s in-season tournament, however, as the opening half of the national doubleheader on TNT will see the New York Knicks travel down Interstate 95 to face the Philadelphia 76ers.
Coming off a thrilling six-game first-round playoff series, both teams made blockbuster moves this offseason, with the Knicks trading for Mikal Bridges and the 76ers signing Paul George.
ESPN’s slate of games will begin Friday, Nov. 15, with LeBron James and Victor Wembanyama – who had a thrilling battle in the gold medal game of the Olympics – facing one another as the Los Angeles Lakers, winners of last year’s inaugural tournament, travel to San Antonio to face the Spurs, before the Warriors host Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies in the second game of the doubleheader.
Like last year, the NBA Cup’s group stage games will be played on Tuesdays (Nov. 12, 19, 26 and Dec. 3, with nationally televised games on TNT) and Fridays (Nov. 15, 22 and 29, with nationally televised games on ESPN). On those days, the only games being played will be NBA Cup contests. Every team will play four group stage games, facing every other team in their group once (two home, two road).
The groups, which were drawn last month based off last year’s regular-season standings, are as follows:
East Group A: Knicks, Orlando Magic, 76ers, Brooklyn Nets, Charlotte Hornets
East Group B: Milwaukee Bucks, Indiana Pacers, Miami Heat, Toronto Raptors, Detroit Pistons
East Group C: Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers, Chicago Bulls, Atlanta Hawks, Washington Wizards
West Group A: Minnesota Timberwolves, LA Clippers, Sacramento Kings, Houston Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers
West Group B: Oklahoma City Thunder, Phoenix Suns, Lakers, Utah Jazz, Spurs
West Group C: Denver Nuggets, Mavericks, New Orleans Pelicans, Warriors, Grizzlies
The winner of each of the six groups – plus the top second-place finisher from each conference – will advance to the knockout rounds of the tournament. The quarterfinals will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 10 and Wednesday, Dec. 11, at the site of the higher-seeded team. The winners of those games will advance to the semifinals in Las Vegas on Saturday, Dec. 14, with the championship game to also be played in Las Vegas on Dec. 17.
ESPN’s other nationally televised games will see the Pacers and Bucks – who had memorable regular-season clashes last season before the Pacers defeated the Bucks in the first round of the playoffs – face off in Milwaukee on Nov. 22, followed by Luka Doncic and the Mavericks going to Denver to take on Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets, in a battle of the past two Western Conference champions.
Then, on Nov. 29 – Black Friday – the Clippers will travel to Minnesota to face Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves, before Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder face James and the Lakers in Los Angeles. That day will also see three games televised in the afternoon on NBA TV: the Knicks at the Hornets at noon ET, followed by the Cavaliers at the Hawks at 2:30 p.m. and the Pelicans at the Grizzlies at 5 p.m.
The highlights of the remaining three group stage dates are the Cavaliers and the defending NBA champion Celtics squaring off in a rematch of their second-round playoff series in Boston on Nov. 19, followed by the Thunder facing the Spurs in San Antonio; the Bucks playing at Miami on Nov. 26, before the Lakers face the Suns in Phoenix; and, on the final day of the schedule, the Magic taking on the Knicks at Madison Square Garden, before the Warriors and Nuggets square off in Denver.
