Blazers vs. Nets, Kings vs. Knicks Postponed Due to Snow: Latest Schedule Info
Citing fears of inclement weather in the New York area, several reports note Monday night's scheduled games featuring the Portland Trail Blazers vs. Brooklyn Nets and the Sacramento Kings vs. New York Knicks have been postponed.
Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports first broke the news, which was later confirmed by the NBA along with schedule information:
Blazers-Nets was scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. ET tip on NBA TV. There is no word on whether or not the league plans to replace that contest with a different broadcast.
Weather forecasts are calling for a potential record snowfall in the Mid-Atlantic region from Monday into Tuesday. A winter storm advisory issued by the National Weather Service projected between 1 and 3 feet of snow in the New York City area alone. Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York City has advised citizens to expect the worst.
"This could be the biggest snowstorm in the history of this city," de Blasio told reporters. "My message for New Yorkers is prepare for something worse than we have ever seen before."
Wojnarowski noted Portland's schedule makes it unlikely that there is a convenient time for the Blazers to reschedule, which is perhaps why it was pushed so far back. With the Kings and Knicks both out of playoff contention, it's unlikely the rescheduling will have a major impact on the postseason landscape down the line.
