NBA Scrimmage tv schedule: Will the Scrimmage be televised?
NBA TV confirmed today that it will be televising 16 inter-squad scrimmages from the Orlando Bubble.
The schedule starts with a doubleheader on Wednesday, July 22, featuring the Orlando Magic against the LA Clippers at 3 p.m. ET, followed by the New Orleans Pelicans and Brooklyn Nets at 7 p.m.
The network will feature scrimmages of big teams LA Lakers, Toronto Raptors, LA Clippers, Miami Heat, Houston Rockets, and Boston Celtics, etc.
The Scrimmage games will be used by players to get some much needed match practice ahead of the seeding games at the NBA Bubble.
All the players have had a long time away from the game and while they are getting into the groove with full team sessions in the Orlando Bubble, they would want to face up against NBA teams in a real match like scenario before the seeding games tip off.
