Celtics
The Celtics will open their new season on the road against the Knicks on Oct. 25.
The Celtics’ schedule for the 2023-24 season is finally here.
Just days after the NBA announced dates for its inaugural in-season tournament (held from Nov. 3 to Dec. 9), the league unveiled its full docket of games for the upcoming season on Thursday afternoon.
The Celtics will open the season on Wednesday, Oct. 25 when they take on the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. Boston’s home opener is set for that Friday, Oct. 27, against the team that ended their latest title hopes, the Miami Heat.
Along with Boston’s new in-season tournament matchups against the Nets, Raptors, Bulls, and Magic, the Celtics will ultimately be featured on national TV 25 times this season.
There will be plenty of reunions set to play out on the hardwood this season for the Celtics and several former players and coaches.
Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart will make his anticipated return to Boston in front of what should be a raucous TD Garden crowd on Sunday, Feb. 4 at 6 p.m. on ESPN. The Celtics and Memphis will also play on Nov. 19 at FedEx Forum.
Former Celtics coach Ime Udoka will take on his former team twice this season. The now-Rockets head coach will return to Boston on Jan. 13 before the Celtics make a trek down to Houston on Jan. 21.
Udoka was suspended and later fired last year for having an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate team employee, leading to Joe Mazzulla’s ascension as the Celtics head coach.
Grant Williams will also return to the parquet floor with the Dallas Mavericks on March 1. Kyrie Irving will also be in attendance with Dallas, which should lead to an expected chorus of boos and jeers from the Garden crowd.
Along with home matchups against Western Conference powerhouses like the reigning champion Nuggets (Jan. 19), Warriors (March 3), and Suns (March 14), the Celtics will take on LeBron James and the Lakers in an anticipated Christmas Day showdown in Los Angeles.
