NOLA couldn’t handle Wisconsin levels of snow.
Due to a historic snowstorm in the southern region of the United States, tonight’s Milwaukee Bucks vs. New Orleans Pelicans game has been postponed:

The date for the rescheduled game has not been announced yet and will be at a later time.
This has been a historic snowstorm for New Orleans, as they received ten inches of snow — the most the city has seen since 1895.
Per Eric Nehm at The Athletic, the Bucks had a practice scheduled on Tuesday at Tulane University. However, that was cancelled due to the snowy conditions when it was determined that the roads were not safe enough.
The Bucks had initially traveled to New Orleans on Monday as a way to avoid the snowstorm.
Right now, the big question will be how this impacts the Bucks’ travel plans. They have a game scheduled for tomorrow night at Fiserv Forum against the Miami Heat. Currently, it remains unknown as to when the Bucks will be able to fly back to Milwaukee. The Pelicans will be flying out on Thursday to begin a three-game road trip, as conditions in New Orleans are forecasted to improve by then.
We’ll update you when this game is rescheduled and if their game tomorrow is impacted by this.
UPDATE: Marc Spears of Andscape is reporting that due to the storm in Louisiana, the Bucks might be stranded in New Orleans long enough to put their game tomorrow night in question:
