EUROPE OFF NBA MAP FOR 2021-22
The NBA will not stage any games in Europe once again in the forthcoming season, it has been confirmed to MVP.
Covid-related travel issues are thought to be behind a decision to leave any international contests off the schedule in the league’s 75th Anniversary campaign.
Paris was the venue for the previous European detour between Charlotte and Milwaukee in January 2020 with NBA officials planning at that point to return to the French capital ahead of London for 2021.
The 2021-22 regular season, which comprises 82 games per team, will tip off on Tuesday, October 19 and conclude on Sunday, April 10.
The New York Knicks and Toronto Raptors meet on Monday, November 1, marking the 75th anniversary of the league’s first regular-season game, which was played between the Knicks and Toronto Huskies on Nov. 1, 1946.
Christmas Day will feature five games across Sky Sports and League Pass Hawks at Knicks, Celtics at Bucks, Warriors at Suns, Nets at Lakers and Mavericks at Utah Jazz.
For the 2021-22 season, 46 weekend games will air in primetime in Europe.
Do you like our work?
We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.
We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.
We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.
If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.
We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
