The NBA unveiled its schedule for the 2022-23 season Wednesday afternoon, which kicks off with a pair of long-standing rivalries involving the two teams that reached last season's NBA Finals.
The 2022-23 NBA regular season will begin on Tuesday, Oct. 18, with the Philadelphia 76ers traveling to face their forever rivals, the defending Eastern Conference champion Boston Celtics, followed by the Los Angeles Lakers heading up the Pacific coast to take on the 2022 NBA champion Golden State Warriors at Chase Center, on the night when Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson will all be collecting their fourth championship rings.

Opening week will then continue Wednesday, when ESPN will have its first doubleheader of the season, kicked off by the New York Knicks traveling to Memphis to take on Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies. That will be followed by a rematch of last year's Western Conference semifinal between the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns in Phoenix -- the site of Dallas' stunning rout to end the top-seeded Suns' season on their home court in Game 7 of that series.
In addition to those games, the Orlando Magic and top 2022 NBA draft pick Paolo Banchero will open their season in Detroit against the Detroit Pistons and the No. 1 selection in the 2021 NBA draft, guard Cade Cunningham, while Rudy Gobert will make his Minnesota Timberwolves debut at home against the No. 2 overall pick in this year's draft, Chet Holmgren, and the Oklahoma City Thunder.
In addition, the New Orleans Pelicans -- who will expect to have Zion Williamson on the court after he missed all of last season -- will open in Brooklyn against the Nets, who, as of now, are still scheduled to have Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons play together for the first time.
Thursday will see another TNT doubleheader, as the Milwaukee Bucks will face the Sixers, followed by an all-L.A. showdown between the Clippers and Lakers at Crypto.com Arena, while Friday will see ESPN feature first a rematch of the Eastern Conference finals slugfest between the Celtics and Miami Heat, followed by the Denver Nuggets traveling to San Francisco to take on the Warriors.

The first weekend of the NBA season will then feature three notable home debuts: Banchero and the Magic hosting the Celtics on Saturday, the same day that Jamal Murray is expected to return to the court in Denver for the first time in almost two years to face the Thunder. Oklahoma City will then host the Wolves Sunday, in what will be Holmgren's home debut.
In addition to once again showing all five games on Christmas Day -- 76ers-Knicks, Lakers-Mavericks, Bucks-Celtics, Grizzlies-Warriors and Suns-Nuggets -- ESPN/ABC will also see its annual Saturday and Sunday showcase games return this season, all of which will air on ABC.
The Saturday schedule will kick off with the Celtics heading to San Francisco to face the Warriors in an NBA Finals rematch on Dec. 10. That will be followed by: Bucks-Heat on Jan. 14; Nuggets-76ers, Knicks-Nets and Lakers-Celtics on Jan. 28; Mavericks-Warriors on Feb. 4; Lakers-Warriors on Feb. 11; Celtics-76ers on Feb. 25; 76ers-Bucks on March 4; and Bucks-Warriors on March 11.
There will be three Sundays, meanwhile, featuring marquee matchups: Grizzlies-Celtics on Feb. 12; Suns-Bucks and Lakers-Mavericks on Feb. 26; and Suns-Mavericks and Warriors-Lakers on March 5.
As the NBA announced earlier this week, there won't be any games on Election Day -- Tuesday, Nov. 8 -- as the league will instead have all 30 teams play the night before in an effort to raise awareness among its fan base to get out and vote. Two other usual marquee dates on the schedule will, however, return with games: Thanksgiving eve and Martin Luther King Day.
