The NBA has made the decision to postpone the Wednesday night game in New Orleans between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Pelicans due to a historic winter storm that blanketed the city with about a foot of snow. The winter storm that hit on Tuesday created hazardous road conditions in a city not accustomed to such heavy snowfall, leading to challenges in snow removal efforts.
The Milwaukee Bucks took proactive measures by arriving in New Orleans a day earlier than usual, flying in on Monday to ensure they were in place if the game could proceed at the Smoothie King Center, which has a seating capacity of 18,000. However, with temperatures remaining in the 30s on Wednesday and many major highways in the metro area closed by authorities, the decision was made to postpone the game.
