New York Knicks 2023-24 Schedule Highlights: 12 Games To Circle On Your Calendar
A look at the most interesting and intriguing games on the Knick schedule for this upcoming season.
The NBA released its full 2023-24 season schedule on Thursday afternoon. Looking ahead toward the 82-game marathon, Knicks fans hope New York can build off the momentum it generated in 2022-23.
Listed below are 12 games New Yorkers should circle on their calendars:
October 25th: vs. Boston
The 'Bockers open the season against the Celtics in a nationally televised game on ESPN. This will be Donte DiVincenzo's first regular season appearance as a member of the Knicks and former Knick Kristaps Porzingis’ first game with Boston. New York beat the C's three of the four times they played last season, including a wild 131-129 double-overtime victory in Boston in their final matchup in early March (which featured IQ exploding for 38 points, eight rebounds, seven assists, five threes, four steals and two blocks).
October 31st: vs. Cleveland
Donovan Mitchell and his Cavs will have a chance to avenge the tail whipping they received in the first round of the 2023 playoffs on Halloween night.
November 4th: at Milwaukee
This date is the first night of the NBA In Season Tournament, and the Knicks will be center stage as they take on Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks. I'm interested to see if teams place added importance on the Tournament games. Will they purposely rest their stars before/after these matchups to ensure they suit up in the Cup games?
November 8th: vs. Spurs
If you follow the NBA, you may have heard the name Victor Wembanyama once or twice this offseason… Well, Wemby makes his Garden debut in early November, and you know NYC hoop heads will be geeked up to get an up-close and personal look at the teenage phenom. FYI: The last player to score more than 40 points at MSG during his rookie season was Michael Jordan. The only teenage rookie to score 30+ points in his first trip to Madison Square was Kevin Durant in December of 2007.
