Man, I’ve been itching for the NBA season to start. So, like any hoops fanatic, I started digging to figure out exactly how many days we’ve got left to wait. Let me tell you, it was a bit of a journey, but I finally cracked the code.
First things first
I checked the usual spots, you know, the official NBA site and all those sports news places. They’ve got schedules and articles, but honestly, it was a bit overwhelming. Lots of info to sift through.
Then, I got down to business
I found out that the 2024-25 NBA season is the 79th season, and the regular season is set to kick off on October 22, 2024, and it’s gonna run until April 13, 2025. They’ve got this in-season tournament, now called the Emirates NBA Cup, happening for the second time.
I also learned that teams usually play about 3.5 games a week, and the whole 82-game season takes around 165-170 days. And each team needs to have at least 50 points.
The big reveal
- After some serious calendar work, I discovered the start date: October 22, 2024. The regular season will begin on that day.
So there you have it, folks. We’ve got a bit of a wait ahead of us, but hey, it gives us more time to get hyped! I even stumbled upon this tidbit – the Boston Celtics, who won last season, will be hosting the New York Knicks on opening night. Now that’s a game I don’t want to miss! It’s a bit of a wait until the games tip off, but at least now I know exactly how long I’ve got to practice my trash talk. Who else is counting down the days?
