After what feels like a long and incredibly eventful offseason, the NBA season is just around the corner. Today, the NBA released the schedule for your Dallas Mavericks.
For the second straight year, the Mavs will open up the regular season on the road. This time it will be against former Mavericks fan favorite and 2011 NBA Champ Tyson Chandler and the Phoenix Suns on October 28. Imagine if the Mavs kept Ty instead of going after a career 42 percent free throw shooter in DeAndre Jordan? Man oh man. But I digress… Game two of the season puts the Mavericks in front a national audience (TNT) when they travel to LA to face the Clippers.
The home opener will be November 3 versus the Toronto Raptors at the AAC, but the most anticipated game of the year doesn’t come until November 11. That’s when DeAndre and the Los Angeles Clippers visit the American Airlines Center. It will be DeAndre’s first visit to Dallas since Clippers head coach Doc Rivers talked him away from that four-year, $80 million ledge known as his verbal agreement to join the Mavs. Get ready for the loudest “boos” in the history of the NBA.
We’ll have more schedule analysis later by our newest staff writer Zack Cunningham, but until we have the full schedule for you below. You can also buy single game tickets here. Until then, get ready for another season of Dallas Mavericks Basketball.
