Mavericks vs. Bucks postponed after team's plane stranded on tarmac
The Dallas Mavericks are the latest NBA team affected by the crippling winter storm sweeping through parts of the country.
The NBA has postponed the Sunday, Jan. 25 matchup between the Mavericks and Milwaukee Bucks at Fiserv Forum due to inclement weather, the league announced in a statement.
The Mavs were still awaiting takeoff on the plane, stranded on the tarmac in Dallas as of 3 p.m. CT for their originally scheduled 7 p.m. ET (6 p.m. CT) tip-off in Milwaukee. Dallas Hoops Journal's Grant Afseth reported the start time had already been pushed back by an hour to 8 p.m. (7 p.m. CT) before the NBA postponed the game.
