Pistons vs. Mavericks Postponed Amid Severe Weather, Texas' State of Emergency
Wednesday's game between the Dallas Mavericks and Detroit Pistons has been postponed after Texas Governor Greg Abbott declared a state of emergency due to a winter storm in the state.
With their contest against the Mavericks no longer happening, the Pistons will now head to the Windy City to face the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET:
Chicago was previously scheduled to play the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday, but that game was postponed Tuesday because of the league's health and safety protocols:
Large swaths of Texas are currently without power amid snow, sleet and freezing temperatures throughout the state.
At least 12 people have died as a result of the winter storm.
The Dallas Stars postponed two games against the Nashville Predators as a result of the storm.
American Airlines Center, which hosts the Stars and Mavericks, currently has power. However, Dallas mayor Eric Johnson called on the teams to postpone games as a precaution because the arena is on a necessary power grid that also includes hospitals.
