The wait is over.
The NBA will open the 2023-24 season on Tuesday with the Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns center stage at San Francisco’s Chase Center.
Led by their new-look backcourt duo of Steph Curry and Chris Paul, the Warriors are coming off a 4-1 preseason. While Paul is set to make his Warriors debut against his former team, the Warriors’ lineup will be missing a key piece.
After missing every preseason game and most of training camp with an ankle injury, Draymond Green has been ruled out of the season opener.
Along with the start of the season, Tuesday will mark the return of Kevin Durant to the Bay Area with fans in attendance. The Warriors are set to honor Durant for his time with the Warriors on Tuesday night in front of the Chase Center crowd.
Before the Warriors host the Suns on the opening night of the NBA season, here’s everything to know before the game, including how to watch.
