Report: Warriors and Lakers to face off on Christmas Day at Chase Center

Report: Warriors and Lakers to meet on Christmas Day at Chase Center originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

Steph Curry and LeBron James are currently playing together on Team USA, attempting to take home a gold medal from the 2024 Paris Olympics.

But on Christmas Day, the superstars will play against each other when the Warriors host the Los Angeles Lakers at the Chase Center in San Francisco, The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported Thursday night, citing sources.

The Warriors-Lakers matchup will be part of the NBA’s five-game schedule on Wednesday, December 25.

According to Charania, the other four matchups will be: the San Antonio Spurs against the New York Knicks, the Minnesota Timberwolves against the Dallas Mavericks, the Philadelphia 76ers against the Boston Celtics and the Denver Nuggets against the Phoenix Suns.

This marks the 14th time the Warriors will play on Christmas Day during the Curry era and the 12th consecutive year Golden State will play on the NBA’s biggest day.

The Warriors lost 120-114 to the Nuggets at Ball Arena last year.

As Curry and James attempt to win a gold medal together (a feat they can complete when they face France on Saturday), they know their NBA showdowns are coming to an end.

James, 39, is entering his 22nd NBA season and it’s unclear how much longer he wants to continue playing.

Curry, 36, has two years remaining on his contract with the Warriors.

NBA fans don’t know how many more Steph and LeBron matchups are left, but the league will make sure to highlight the rivalry as much as possible in the years to come.
