志在夺冠的尼克斯队将在揭幕战中客场挑战凯尔特人队，届时他们将立即看到自己和新援米卡尔·布里奇斯(Mikal Bridges)的实力，并试图搅乱凯尔特人队的冠军戒指庆祝仪式。
NBA 于周四公布了其 2024-25 赛季的赛程，尼克斯队和凯尔特人队的宿敌对决将拉开新赛季的序幕。接下来，勒布朗·詹姆斯(LeBron James)和安东尼·爱德华兹(Anthony Edwards)这对奥运队友将在湖人队主场迎战森林狼队的焦点之战中展开较量。
尼克斯队上赛季以东部第二名的成绩结束常规赛，落后排名第一的凯尔特人队 14 个胜场，但在季后赛中饱受伤病困扰，并在东部半决赛中输给了步行者队，后者随后在东部决赛中被凯尔特人队横扫。
为了追赶卫冕冠军凯尔特人队，尼克斯队与篮网队达成了自 1983 年以来的首次交易，送出了五个首轮选秀权、一个首轮选秀权互换权和一个次轮选秀权，换来了布里奇斯，这是今年夏天最大的一笔交易。
尼克斯队希望布里奇斯的加入能帮助他们在东部赛区获胜，他将在纽约与前维拉诺瓦大学的队友贾伦·布伦森(Jalen Brunson)、约什·哈特(Josh Hart)和东特·迪温琴佐(Donte DiVincenzo)重聚。凯尔特人队上赛季以 NBA 最佳战绩（64 胜 18 负）结束了常规赛，并在季后赛中取得了 16 胜 3 负的战绩，最终获得了球队历史上第 18 个总冠军，也是自 2008 年以来的第一个总冠军。
爱德华兹和森林狼队希望在上个赛季打进西部决赛后更进一步。湖人队的揭幕战也可能是状元秀布朗尼·詹姆斯(Bronny James)的首次亮相，他是在南加州大学毕业后以第 55 顺位被选中的。
新赛季的第二个比赛日将以东部两支争冠球队的另一场重量级对决为亮点。10 月 23 日，乔尔·恩比德(Joel Embiid)、保罗·乔治(Paul George)和泰瑞斯·马克西(Tyrese Maxey)组成的 76 人队新三巨头将在主场迎来他们的首秀，对手是扬尼斯·阿德托昆博(Giannis Antetokounmpo)、达米安·利拉德(Damian Lillard)和雄鹿队。
几个小时后，在加州英格尔伍德的另一边，史蒂夫·鲍尔默(Steve Ballmer)将开放他最先进的 Intuit 球馆，届时快船队、科怀·伦纳德(Kawhi Leonard)和詹姆斯·哈登(James Harden)将在联盟最新的球场上迎战太阳队和奥运选手凯文·杜兰特(Kevin Durant)和德文·布克(Devin Booker)。
两周后，Intuit 球馆将迎来下一场最受期待的比赛，届时乔治将随 76 人队回到洛杉矶，面对他的老东家。乔治本应与伦纳德一起在 Intuit 球馆首秀，但在快船队没有匹配他与费城签署的四年 2.12 亿美元的合同时，他将更有动力照亮这座新球馆。
乔治说，他本来会接受伦纳德在一月份续约时签署的三年 1.5 亿美元的合同，但也希望在合同中加入一项不可交易条款。在伦纳德和乔治在五个赛季中因为伤病等原因未能实现冠军目标后，快船队选择放弃乔治。
乔治并不是今年夏天唯一一个改换门庭的全明星神射手。10 月 24 日，克莱·汤普森(Klay Thompson)将与卢卡·东契奇(Luka Doncic)和凯里·欧文(Kyrie Irving)搭档，在对阵超级二年级生维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)和马刺队的比赛中完成他在独行侠队备受期待的首秀。
11 月 12 日，汤普森将回到金州勇士队，首次以对手的身份面对斯蒂芬·库里(Stephen Curry)和德雷蒙德·格林(Draymond Green)，这对他来说无疑是一次回归。在与旧金山的续约谈判没有按照他希望的方式进行后，汤普森将受到激励，证明自己还有很多三分球的实力。
上赛季西部排名前两位的球队将在新赛季的第一周相遇。10 月 24 日，雷霆队将前往丹佛挑战掘金队，届时掘金队的卫冕 MVP 尼古拉·约基奇(Nikola Jokic)将迎战 MVP 候选人谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大(Shai Gilgeous-Alexander)。
10 月 23 日，贾·莫兰特(Ja Morant)将在灰熊队客场挑战犹他爵士队的比赛中期待已久的回归赛场。莫兰特上赛季总共只打了 9 场比赛，原因是停赛以及 1 月份右肩唇瓣撕裂。灰熊队最终以 27 胜 55 负的战绩结束赛季，但他们在选秀大会上以第九顺位选中了普渡大学的扎克·埃迪(Zach Edey)。
随着莫兰特（他在 7 月份被完全允许参加篮球活动）的回归，孟菲斯灰熊队应该已经做好了再次冲击西部冠军的准备。
NBA 的圣诞大战阵容将星光熠熠。比赛首先是联盟未来的潜在门面人物文班亚马在麦迪逊广场花园对阵尼克斯队的比赛，这将是他的圣诞大战首秀。东契奇和独行侠队将在主场迎战爱德华兹和森林狼队，重演西部决赛的对决。然后，76 人队将在波士顿看到他们与卫冕冠军的实力对比。
接下来是库里和詹姆斯第四次在圣诞大战中相遇。这两位曾在巴黎帮助美国队赢得奥运金牌的球星将在湖人队前往旧金山挑战金州勇士队的比赛中重聚。最后一场比赛将在菲尼克斯举行，届时约基奇的掘金队将迎战布克、杜兰特和布拉德利·比尔(Bradley Beal)领衔的太阳队。
联盟的全明星周末将于 2 月 14 日至 16 日在旧金山举行。常规赛将于 4 月 13 日结束。

Built to win a championship, the Knicks will immediately see how they and their newest player, Mikal Bridges, stack up when they try to spoil the Celtics’ championship ring celebration on opening night in Boston.
The NBA unveiled its 2024-25 schedule Thursday with the Knicks-Celtics rivalry opening the season on Oct. 22. That will be followed by Olympic teammates LeBron James and Anthony Edwards squaring off on the marquee night when the Lakers host the Timberwolves.
The Knicks finished second in the Eastern Conference last season – 14 games behind the first-place Celtics – but were plagued by injuries in the postseason and lost in the conference semifinals to the Pacers, who were then swept by the Celtics in the conference finals.
In an attempt to gain ground on the reigning champion Celtics, the Knicks swung their first trade with the Nets since 1983, sending five first-round draft picks, a first-round pick swap and a second-round pick to land Bridges in the biggest trade of the summer.
The Knicks hope the addition of Bridges, who will be reunited with former Villanova teammates Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart and Donte DiVincenzo in New York, will help them win the East. The Celtics finished with the NBA’s best record (64-18) last season before going 16-3 in the postseason, rolling to the 18th championship in franchise history and their first since 2008.
Edwards and the Wolves are looking to take a step forward after reaching the Western Conference finals last postseason. The Lakers’ opener could also be a first glimpse at rookie Bronny James, selected 55th overall out of USC.
The second night of the season will be highlighted by another heavyweight matchup between two Eastern Conference contenders. The 76ers’ new big three of Joel Embiid, Paul George and Tyrese Maxey make their long-awaited debut when they host Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard and the Bucks on Oct. 23.
A few hours later, on the opposite coast in Inglewood, California, Steve Ballmer will open his state-of-the-art Intuit Dome when the Clippers, Kawhi Leonard and James Harden christen the newest court in the league against the Suns and Olympians Kevin Durant and Devin Booker.
The Intuit Dome will hold its next-most-anticipated game two weeks later when George returns with the Sixers to Los Angeles to face his old team. George was supposed to open Intuit Dome with Leonard but instead will be motivated to light up the new arena after the Clippers wouldn’t match the four-year, $212 million deal he signed with Philadelphia.
George said he would have taken the same three-year, $150 million deal that Leonard signed in an extension in January but wanted a no-trade clause attached to it as well. The Clippers opted to let George walk after five seasons in which Leonard and George couldn’t fulfill championship expectations largely because of injuries.
George isn’t the only pure-shooting All-Star to change homes this offseason. Klay Thompson will make his highly anticipated Mavericks debut alongside Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving against super sophomore Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs on Oct. 24.
On Nov. 12, Thompson will make what certainly will be an emotional return to Golden State to face Stephen Curry and Draymond Green as an opponent for the first time. After contract negotiations to stay in San Francisco didn’t go the way he had hoped, Thompson will be inspired to show he has plenty of 3-pointers left in him.
The top two teams to finish in the West last season will face off during the first week of the new season. The Thunder travel to Denver on Oct. 24 in a game that features Nuggets reigning MVP Nikola Jokic against MVP contender Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
Ja Morant will make his long-awaited return to the court when the Grizzlies play at Utah on Oct. 23. Morant played in a total of nine games last season due to suspension and a labral tear suffered in his right shoulder in January. The Grizzlies finished 27-55, but they drafted Purdue’s Zach Edey ninth overall.
And with Morant – who was fully cleared to participate in basketball activities in July – back, Memphis should be poised to contend in the West again.
The NBA’s Christmas Day lineup will be star-studded. It opens with the league’s potential face of the future, Wembanyama, making his Christmas debut at Madison Square Garden against the Knicks. Doncic and the Mavericks will host Edwards and the Wolves in a rematch of the Western Conference finals. The Sixers will then see where they stand against the champs in Boston.
That will be followed by Curry and James meeting for the fourth time on Christmas. The two stars, who helped Team USA win gold in Paris, will be reunited when the Lakers travel to San Francisco to face Golden State. The holiday slate will finish with Jokic’s Nuggets at Phoenix to face Booker, Durant and Bradley Beal.
The league’s All-Star Weekend will be held Feb. 14-16 in San Francisco. The regular season will conclude April 13.
