Although this season’s NBA schedule will not officially go public until Wednesday afternoon, more than a handful of games have already begun to leak out into the basketball stratosphere.
Of those contests that have slipped through the cracks include: multiple marquee matchups, holiday specials, rivalries renewed, etc. For fans of the Lakers in particular, they have also gotten their first glimpse at a few notable dates, as well as receiving the entire slate against a familiar foe.
As has been reported by a variety of outlets, the Lakers will tip-off the season against the reigning champions when they head to the bay to face-off with the Warriors.
