The NBA schedule for 2025-26 has been released! The regular season begins Oct. 21, with reigning NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder hosting Kevin Durant's new team, the Houston Rockets, while LeBron James, Luka Doncic and the Los Angeles Lakers will host Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors.
As the season nears, which debuts, star showdowns, reunions and playoff rematches are we most excited to watch?
Plenty of stars will don new jerseys -- most notably Durant, Chris Paul returning to the LA Clippers, Myles Turner with the Milwaukee Bucks and Kristaps Porzingis with the Atlanta Hawks -- setting up must-see reunions.
