2016 - 2017 NBA on TNT Schedule

With the 2016-17 NBA schedule release on Thursday night, we now have the schedule for the NBA's longest-serving TV partner, TNT. This is the 33rd year of Turner Sports' coverage of the league, if you add some TBS years in the mid-80's. Back to TNT's status, it's their 28th season covering the league. TNT will NOT only have their famous Thursday Night doubleheaders, but due to the new TV deal kicking in, TNT will be busy showing games on a Monday night (I know, right). TNT's game total goes to 53 to 64. TNT will be the first network on the air when the season begins with a Tuesday, October 25th opening night doubleheader: LeBron James and the Cavs receive their championship rings and later host Carmelo Anthony, Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, and the new-look Knicks at 7:30 pm ET. Then, at 10:30 pm ET, the Spurs and Warriors meet in the Bay Area in a Western Conference showdown. This game will mark the Warriors' debut of Kevin Durant (former MVP, coming over from the Thunder). TNT will have great action for you to watch all year.
