The NBA champion Denver Nuggets will kick off the 2023-24 NBA schedule Oct. 24 in a showdown against the Los Angeles Lakers, creating an early rematch of last season’s Western Conference Finals.
While portions of the schedule have leaked out over the past several days, the NBA released its full-season, team-by-team schedule on Thursday, and the focus is on last season’s playoff teams in the early days.
The clash between the Lakers and Nuggets will be nationally televised, and Denver players will receive their championship rings before the game, which is set to tip at 7:30 p.m. ET. It will be followed by the Phoenix Suns’ visit to the Golden State Warriors, when three-time NBA All-Star Bradley Beal of Phoenix and 12-time NBA All-Star Chris Paul of Golden State debut with their new teams.
