The time has come.
After a summer of waiting, the start of the NBA season is two months away. The first step is the release of the 2021-22 NBA schedule — and that time is now.
Utah begins the new season on Oct. 20 with a home game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Jazz then hit the road for the first time two days later, facing De’Aaron Fox and the Sacramento Kings.
Normalcy returns this year as Utah will play a full 82-game season in 172 days, a lot more accommodating compared to last season’s COVID-19 shortened year in which the Jazz played 72 games in 144 days.
