The Hornets begin the regular season on October 26th, and open at home on the 29th
The NBA released the schedule for the upcoming 2016-17 regular season today, and the Charlotte Hornets are slated to begin on the road against the Milwaukee Bucks on October 26th. Three days later, they will play their home opener against the Boston Celtics on July 29th.
Opening against Milwaukee is familiar territory for the Hornets, as they began the 2014-15 season at home against them. If you remember, the Hornets came back and forced overtime after Kemba Walker tied the game on a 3-pointer.
