ABC/ESPN releases their 2011-12 NBA schedule

With the NBA in lockout mode and with a portion or maybe even all of the 2011-12 NBA season in real jeopardy of being cancelled, that’s not stopping ABC/ESPN from releasing their 2011-12 schedule of televised games.

According to a Press Release from ESPN, the first regular season telecast on ESPN will be a doubleheader on Wednesday, November 2 of Miami @ New York and the LA Lakers visiting Golden State.  Seventy-five regular season games will be shown on ESPN and ESPN2 and online at ESPN3.com.

ABC begins their 15 game schedule with the traditional Christmas Day doubleheader featuring a rematch of the 2011 NBA Finals and Chicago visiting the Lakers.  ABC’s broadcast schedule will conclude with the 2012 NBA Finals in June.

All telecasts on both AB & ESPN are subject to flex scheduling which will provide the best matchups all season.
