The first part of the 2018-19 NBA schedule released Wednesday, and the San Antonio Spurs were noticeably absent. It was hardly a significant portion of the schedule, but some of its most important points of the upcoming campaign.
It started with the Tip-Off 2018 schedule for national television. The Philadelphia 76ers vs. Boston Celtics and Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Golden State Warriors will take over TNT on Opening Night. That’s followed by the New Orleans Pelicans vs. Houston Rockets, LeBron James’ Los Angeles Lakers debut vs. the Portland Trail Blazers and Kawhi Leonard’s Toronto Raptors vs. the Washington Wizards, amongst others.
