The Boston Celtics have a date to face off with their former starting point guard Kemba Walker and veteran shooting guard Evan Fournier on their new team as the Celtics find themselves slated to take on the New York Knicks on the opening night of the 2021-22 NBA season.
WIth the league announcing their opening night and Christmas Day game schedule today, so came news of the matchup with the Celtics Atlantic Division rivals to kick off the coming season with some potential for a revenge game for Walker, who is a native of New York. With both he and Fournier ending up Knicks this offseason, the pairing makes sense, and should be a good gauge of both teams early in the season.
The tilt will air on ESPN, and will take place on New York’s home court of Madison Square Garden at 7:30 pm ET.
