The opening night for the 2023-24 NBA season features a ton of history

Phoenix Suns vs. Golden State Warriors

The NBA 2023-24 season will feature a ton of drama on all four teams that will play during opening night. Let's take a look at what fans should expect.

For the Suns and the Warriors, it'll be the first time Durant will be playing in San Francisco. When he left the team in 2019, that was the last time he was able to play in front of Golden State fans as he's been dealing with different injuries during that span.

Chris Paul, who recently got traded, will likely play that game. During opening night. it'll be his first time playing against the Suns since the trade, which could generate some fireworks.

The Lakers, on the other hand, will have to watch the Nuggets receive their championship rings. The defending champions will be given their championship rings after they swept Los Angeles to advance to the NBA Finals and beat the Miami Heat.

Additionally, there's been some bad blood between the Nuggets' coach and the Lakers during this offseason. During their championship parade, Mike Malone was introduced as the "Lakers' Daddy," mocking the team's attempt against the Nuggets during the playoffs.

It'll be a fun night for the NBA and the fans as the drama gets to start early for the next season.
