NBA: Bucks-Mavs game postponed due to winter-weather storm affecting travel

Sunday night’s matchup between the Milwaukee Bucks and the visiting Dallas Mavericks has been postponed due to the Mavericks’ inability to travel amid severe weather conditions caused by this weekend’s arctic storm.

The Dallas area received multiple inches of snow and sleet overnight into early Sunday morning. With temperatures expected to reach only around 25 degrees, the Mavericks’ plane could not properly defrost, preventing it from taking off Saturday evening or Sunday morning/afternoon following Dallas’ 116-110 home loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday.

This is the second NBA game scheduled for Sunday to be postponed. Earlier in the day, the Denver Nuggets’ game against the Memphis Grizzlies was also postponed due to lingering weather concerns from the same storm.

The NBA announced that the dates for both rescheduled games will be announced at a later time.
