The Hawks won’t play at home on Martin Luther King Jr. Day this season.
For that, you can blame the College Football National Championship Game.
Atlanta will host the national championship game this season at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Jan. 20. For that, the long-standing tradition of the Hawks hosting a game on MLK Day takes a respite. The Hawks will play at the Knicks that day.
The NBA announced the 2024-25 schedule on Thursday.
The Hawks will open the season on Oct. 23 against the Nets. It will be the first of three at home in the first four games to open the campaign. The season ends on April 13 with a home game against the Magic. Four of the final six games are on the road.
The Hawks are scheduled for eight nationally televised games, six on NBA TV, one on TNT and one on ESPN. The games on TNT and ESPN are both against the Spurs.
As previously reported, the Hawks will take part in the NBA Cup, the In-Season Tournament last season, as part of the East Group C with the Celtics, Bulls, Cavaliers and Wizards. Those games will be played in November.
The longest homestand will be six games in March against Bucks, two straight with the Pacers, 76ers, Hornets and Clippers.
The longest road trip will be five games in December and January against the Raptors, Nuggets, Lakers, Clippers and Suns.
