Every NBA Christmas Day game this season will include a former Kentucky player
Christmas is going to be all blue and white this year.
The NBA released its full 2024-25 season schedule on Thursday. With it, we learned of the matchups that will take place on Christmas Day (which falls on a Wednesday this year) for the coming season. All five games include at least two former Kentucky players with a total of 14 Wildcats (including five All-Stars) set to be in action for the day-long basketball extravaganza.
Here’s how the December 25th slate looks:
12:00 p.m. EST (ESPN) San Antonio Spurs @ New York Knicks
2:30 p.m. EST (ABC/ESPN) Minnesota Timberwolves @ Dallas Mavericks
5:00 p.m. EST (ABC/ESPN) Philadelphia 76ers @ Boston Celtics
8:00 p.m. EST (ABC/ESPN) Los Angeles Lakers @ Golden State Warriors
10:30 p.m. EST (ESPN) Denver Nuggets @ Phoenix Suns
Personally, this is one of my favorite sports days of the year — after I’ve fulfilled my family duties, of course. But now, with so many of my favorite former Kentucky players taking the floor, I have an added excuse to run ESPN on the TV from noon until after midnight. What could be a better gift?
