The NBA is reportedly seeking to start the 2022-2023 season off with a banger.
In keeping with The Athletic’s Shams Charania, Adam Silver and Co. have scheduled a Lakers-Warriors opening night game/ring ceremony on TNT October 18.
The matchup incorporates a ton of star power between the Warriors Big 3 and LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook (if he’s still there). Not to say, the debut of Lakers head coach Darvin Ham.
Golden State and LA also got things began last 12 months when the Dubs picked up a 121-114 road win at what was once the Staples Center.
With a reworked roster and higher injury luck, the Lakers should have the ability to not less than get back into the playoff mix after an especially disappointing 12 months in 2021.
Still though, the Lakers and Warriors are two of the NBA’s hottest teams and will function an important start to a different exciting 12 months basketball.
