The NBA is back!
The opening night doubleheader rolls on with the Warriors hosting the Lakers at Chase Center in San Francisco.
Prior to tipoff, Golden State will have a ceremony to commemorate last season’s title run, with players receiving their championship rings and the Warriors’ fourth banner of the Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Steve Kerr era being raised into the rafters.
Once the rings are handed out and the banner is raised, the Warriors’ title defense will begin against LeBron James, Anthony Davis and the Lakers as Los Angeles looks to right the ship after missing the postseason last year.
For live updates, highlights and more from the Warriors’ ring ceremony and opening night game, The Sporting News has you covered below.
