The Milwaukee Bucks are set to play the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday but with the northern gulf coast blanketed in thick layers of snow, what would be the status of the upcoming game?
New Orleans and Houston were among cities most affected, leading to the cancellation of the flights from and to city.
Bucks players and staff are probably in their hotel rooms right now as reporter Eric Nehm revealed that the team made an early flight in anticipation of the storm.
With a snowstorm blowing into New Orleans overnight, I’ve seen some people ask about the Bucks-Pelicans game tomorrow night.

The current storm is a rare occurrence. Almost all flights at the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport have been cancelled.
The Pelicans is the Bucks’ first game in back-to-back. Giannis Antetokounmpo and company will fly back to Wisconsin to host the Miami Heat.
Milwaukee Bucks, New Orleans Pelicans injury report
The game is mostly likely to take place. The question now is who will be available to play with all the injuries these two teams are dealing with.
The Bucks, who are on a four-game win streak, listed Antetokounmpo (right patella tendinopathy), Marjon Beauchamp (non-covid illness), and Khris Middleton (bilateral ankle injury management) as probable.
Key rotation guy AJ Green will be out anew due to left quad strain.
For the hosts, key players are still doubtful. Yves Missi and Zion Williamson are both struck by non-Covid illness and listed as questionable. Dejounte Murray (right elbow bursitis) is probable.
Key players who are confirmed out are Brandon Ingram (left ankle sprain), Herb Jones (right shoulder strain).
