Early Wednesday (2:30 am in Cairo time), the most prestigious basketball competition in the world, USA's NBA's 2024-25 regular season, will kick off.
The opener of the new season of the NBA will take place at TD Garden between the reigning and defending champions Boston Celtics, and the New York Knicks.
The Celtics will defend the NBA crown they won, capping an league-best 64-18 regular season by going 16-3 in the playoffs and defeating the Dallas Mavericks in five games in the NBA Finals.
The Knicks finished 14 games back of the champions last season.
After falling to the Indiana Pacers in the second round of the East Playoffs, they made a huge offseason work in the transfer scene.
