The NBA has postponed this Wednesday’s game between the New Orleans Pelicans and Milwaukee Bucks due to the historic snow storm that has impacted the area.
With the storm dropping about a foot of snow, it made travel difficult as the typically warm city was unprepared to deal with the elements.
The Bucks flew into town on Monday to beat the snowstorm, a day earlier than usual for a matchup against the Pelicans.

But as temperatures remained in the 30s on Wednesday, authorities closed many major highways in metropolitan areas and surface roads throughout the city were still covered in ice.
Schools and businesses across the area remained closed Wednesday, and Louis Armstrong International Airport canceled all commercial departures due to the weather. Taking those factors into account, the NBA postponed the game, with no date currently set to make it up.

The Bucks’ next game is against the Miami Heat in Milwaukee on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. ET.
After that game against the Heat, the Bucks will embark on a West Coast trip, starting Saturday, and won’t have another home game until February 2.
The Bucks are scheduled to play the Pelicans toward the end of the regular season at home on April 9.
The Pelicans, on the other hand, are scheduled to play both Friday and Saturday, making it difficult for the NBA to schedule the postponed game anytime soon.
The Pelicans have struggled this season as they are 12-32, the second-worst team in the Western Conference.
The Bucks have enjoyed much more success than the Pelicans and are 24-17, good for fourth place in the Eastern Conference.
