After a tremendous 2025 NBA Playoffs and an eventful off-season, tonight marks the beginning of the 2025-26 season.
Rockets/Thunder at 7:30; Warriors/Lakers at 10. Both games on NBC and Peacock, which gets the NBA back this year for the first time in awhile.
The Pacers are without Tyrese Haliburton. The Celtics don’t have Jayson Tatum. Damian Lillard was released by the Bucks, signed with the Blazers, and will be on the shelf for this upcoming year as well.
LeBron James is also on the injured list, with sciatica.
Can the Thunder repeat? Will the Pacers be able to deal with the loss of their star? How will the Nuggets and Bucks do with their superstars? And how long before Kevin Durant demands another trade to leave the Rockets?
The 2025-26 regular season begins now.
