The Chicago Bulls will tip off their 2021-22 regular-season against a divisional opponent on Oct. 20 when they travel to Detroit to take on the Pistons at Little Caesar’s Arena at 6 p.m. CT.
Chicago will host its home opener on Friday, Oct. 22, at 7 p.m. vs. Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans in a back-to-back matchup that follows with the Pistons again at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 23.
The Bulls are scheduled to play 12 nationally televised games this season – seven on NBATV, four on ESPN and one on TNT. Prominent home games include the New York Knicks on Oct. 28 and Nov. 21, the Brooklyn Nets on Nov. 8 and Jan. 12, the Los Angeles Lakers on Dec. 19, the Phoenix Suns on Feb. 7, the NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks on March 4 and April 5, and the Los Angeles Clippers on March 31. A local broadcast schedule will be released at a later date.
Bulls’ big offseason additions of four-time All-Star DeMar DeRozan, brazen point guard Lonzo Ball and the former goat Alex Caruso will bring energy on both ends of the floor.
They join fellow All-Stars Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic to headline a celebrated crew of All-Stars, all-pros and Olympic gold medal winners. They’re supported by the likes of high scoring guard Coby White and pubescent prodigy Patrick Williams. It could be one of the more entertaining cores in the NBA.
