The NBA announced its national TV schedule for the first three days of the season -- Dec. 22, 23 and 25 -- Wednesday afternoon, featuring nine games involving most of the league's biggest names.
Opening night will see the Warriors open the season by travelling to Brooklyn to face the Nets, in what will both serve as Durant's first game, period, since suffering a torn Achilles tendon in Game 5 of the 2019 NBA Finals, and the first game he will play against his former team since joining the Nets as a free agent that summer.
