NBA Postpones Wednesday’s Bucks/Pelicans Game
The game scheduled to be played between the Bucks and Pelicans on Wednesday at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans has been postponed due to “extreme weather conditions” in New Orleans, the NBA announced today (via Twitter).
The league intends to announce a new date for the game at a later time.
New Orleans has received a rare winter storm this week, with snow blanketing the city and icy conditions affecting travel in the area.
Chris Haynes, who first reported (via Twitter) that the game between the Bucks and Pelicans would be postponed, notes that there’s concern about whether the Bucks will be able to depart New Orleans in time to get home to host the Heat on Thursday (Twitter link). The Pelicans’ next game is scheduled for Friday in Memphis.
The NBA had to postpone a handful of games earlier this month due to the wildfires in Los Angeles and extreme weather in Atlanta. Most of the new dates for those contests were announced last Wednesday, but the league has yet to confirm a rescheduled date for a Spurs/Lakers game that was postponed.
That game and this Bucks/Pelicans matchup will likely be among the next set of rescheduled contests announced by the NBA.
Due to the ongoing player boycott in response to the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, the NBA has decided to postpone Wednesday’s game between the Milwaukee Bucks and New Orleans Pelicans. This decision comes after the Bucks refused to take the court for their game against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday afternoon.
The NBA and the National Basketball Players Association have released a joint statement expressing their support for the players and their decision to boycott in protest against racial injustice and police brutality. The statement also acknowledges the need for action and concrete steps to be taken to address these issues.
It is unclear when the game between the Bucks and Pelicans will be rescheduled, as the league and players continue to discuss the next steps in response to the ongoing protests. This marks a significant moment in NBA history as players use their platform to demand change and make their voices heard on important social issues.
