The NBA has released the full schedule for the Boston Celtics upcoming 2024-25 season. The reigning NBA champions will begin their title defense with a game against the New York Knicks at the TD Garden on October 22. They will also receive their championship rings on the same night. However, as always, a season is long and arduous, with multiple ups and downs to be expected.
This year will be a new experience for Boston’s core. After spending multiple years chasing a championship, they will now be defending one, thus becoming the hunted with a chasing pack of teams hungry to replicate the Celtics’ success from last season. As such, Joe Mazzulla’s team must up their game if they wish to be back in the NBA Finals next year.
Of course, that means implementing championship-winning habits early and making the most of their opportunities as and when they arise. Therefore, knowing the key dates in Boston’s schedule is important. Dates that could build or shred momentum throughout the season. Here are some of the most important dates the Celtics will suit up on ahead of the 2025 NBA playoffs.
