The 2019-20 NBA schedule will be revealed shortly at 3pm EST. Once it comes out, all our eyes will be focused on the LA Clippers and their matchups.
At 3pm EST/ Noon PST, the NBA will reveal the 2019-20 NBA schedule on NBATV. All of the NBA world will be honed in on when certain matchups occur, especially with contenders like the LA Clippers.
The Clippers, who arguably had the best offseason in the entire league, will likely have a lot of marquee matchups which will be featured on national television. This is a far cry from last season when the schedules were announced and the team had a whopping THREE national games.
With both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George joining the team, we know there are already some key return games. Leaks already indicated that Kawhi will make his return to Toronto to receive his championship ring on December 11, while George won’t actually make his way back to Oklahoma City until March.
The Clippers will also have a few returns of their own, which fans will look forward to. Tobias Harris will be back with Philadelphia after being moved there last season. His best friend, Boban Marjanovic, was also traded to Philly, but joined the Dallas Mavericks in the offseason. Fans will likely be very happy to see both back in the building.
Arguably the most hyped up return though will be when the Oklahoma City Thunder come to Staples Center. Both Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Danilo Gallinari are members of the Thunder after the Paul George trade and are still beloved by fans. Both will likely get tribute videos whenever they do return. To add icing to the cake though, Chris Paul is now with the Thunder, so the former Clipper will also be part of that trip.
We also will find out when key games against playoff contenders are. We know two of the four matchups with the Lakers fall on opening night and Christmas, but seeing where the other two fall will be interesting to see.
There are the games against contenders like the Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets, Denver Nuggets and more that we have to look forward to, so make sure to check back here after the reveal as we break down everything we see on the Clippers’ schedule.
