The 2020-21 NBA season officially began on Tuesday with two high-profile games. The Los Angeles Lakers began their title defense against the Los Angeles Clippers while the Brooklyn Nets set the stage with a battle against the Golden State Warriors. The early game drew considerable attention due to the return of two prominent NBA stars. Kevin Durant started for the first time since the 2018-19 season while Steph Curry made it back after a broken hand shortened his 2019-20 campaign.
When the fans saw that both Curry and Durant were on the court and ready to play on opening night, they showed their excitement on social media. Several said that the two players were about to make the game extremely entertaining and that Curry was good for “at least 40 points.” The comments continued as many fans proclaimed that all was right in the world now that two of the biggest stars were ready to play.

So excited that the NBA is back!! I want to see both Steph Curry and Kevin Durant back at their MVP forms! Hoping Luka or Giannis wins MVP this year too. Also rooting for Lonzo and the Pelicans to make the Playoffs this season!

I’m happy to see Curry back on the court, and the thirst of his braids says to me “hold out a few more weeks, young fella.” https://t.co/203wdi296F
