The NBA released a full-schedule slate over the weekend.
Each team will have eight regular-season games to help finalize playoff seeding, according to ESPN.
The resumed 2019-2020 regular season begins July 30th as Donovan Mitchell and the Utah Jazz face off against Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans at 6:30 eastern on TNT.
The second game of the double-header will be a heavyweight match between Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers versus Lebron James and the Lakers at 8 eastern.
The next night (July 31st) a triple-header takes off as Ja Morant and the Grizzlies take on Damian Lillard and the Trailblazers at 4 eastern on NBA TV.
Jayson Tatum and the Celtics start the night cap off at 6:30 eastern when they face “The Greek Freak,” and the Bucks on ESPN and James Harden and the Rockets verse Luka Doncic at 9 eastern.
Players and teams will have roughly two weeks to secure their playoff seeds; and while they’re doing so making a statement as the league and NBA Players Association will allow players to replace the last name on their jerseys with social justice statements in support of the Black Lives Matter and social racisms/injustices that plague this country.
