A few more dates to circle on your NBA calendar
The NBA released its full 2024-25 regular-season schedule on Thursday. We've covered the schedule from a lot of different angles, including 10 must-see games, ranking the Christmas Day games, and a rundown of who has the most nationally televised games.
Here's one more: Homecoming games. We're not going to call these revenge games, although that would aptly characterize some of these matchups (Klay Thompson returning to play the Warriors and Paul George getting his first shot at the Clippers after they refused to pay him max money), because there weren't a ton of bad-blood moves this summer.
Still, even in amicable splits, athletes will find any source of juice they can, and going back to the old stomping grounds to play a former team never fails to rev the engine. It was not a coincidence that Bradley Beal dropped a season-high 43 points on the Wizards last year.
