The new NBA season, with 14 French players expected on American courts, begins this Tuesday evening on the other coast of the Atlantic. We will have to wait another 48 hours to see Victor Wembanyama in the Spurs jersey again (on the night of Thursday to Friday against the Dallas Mavericks), but Rudy Gobert will be there this Tuesday with the Minnesota Timberwolves, who challenge LeBron’s Lakers James and his son Bronny.
Big favorites for the coronation this season, the Celtics of Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown aim for nothing other than a resounding back-to-back towards the title, more achieved since the Stephen Curry-Kevin Durant duo at the Warriors ( 2017 and 2018).
Four months after the 18th title in its history (absolute record in NBA history), the Boston franchise returns to battle and will want to make an impression during the traditional opening match of the 2024-25 season against the Knicks, reinforced by the arrival of Karl-Anthony Towns. 82 regular season matches are planned, before the play-ins and then the play-offs.
The NBA resumes on the night of Tuesday October 22 to Wednesday October 23, with Celtics-Knicks at 1:30 a.m. (French time), then Lakers-Timberwolves at 4 a.m. These two matches will be followed on television on beIN Sports 1.
