KINGS ON NATIONAL TELEVISION 24 TIMES IN 2003-04
The Sacramento Kings will open the 2003-04 regular season at home for the third straight year when they play host to the Cleveland Cavaliers on October 29 at ARCO Arena (7:30 p.m. PST) on ESPN. The Cavaliers' highly touted rookie LeBron James, who was the number one overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft, will make his NBA debut.
Sacramento, like last season, is joined by the Los Angeles Lakers for the highest number of nationally televised games (24), followed by Dallas and San Antonio's 23 scheduled appearances. The Kings will be featured five times on ABC, 10 times on ESPN, and nine times on the Turner Sports Network. The combined maximum number of national appearances allowed for a single team is 24, including a maximum of five appearances on ABC, 10 on ESPN and nine on Turner Sports.
The Kings play on Christmas Day for the second year in row when they take on the Dallas Mavericks (3 p.m. PST) at ARCO Arena on ABC. In one of the most anticipated regular season games ever, Sacramento defeated the Los Angeles Lakers, 105-99 on Christmas Day last season at the Staples Center.
The Kings road opener will take place on November 1 against the Denver Nuggets (6 p.m. PST). The Kings 2003-04 regular season slate will close out on the road against the Golden State Warriors on April 14.
