Mavericks Plane Trouble Puts Bucks Game On Ice

Merlin sees the Dallas Mavericks were set to face the Milwaukee Bucks Sunday at 7 p.m. ET, but the Mavs’ team plane is in Dallas and "still being de-iced." A major winter storm prompted an "extreme cold warning" for Dallas Fort Worth through 9 a.m. CT with windchills near minus 10 degrees and almost 1,000 flights canceled. The NBA already postponed Nuggets vs Grizzlies, so another delay is possible. Merlin notes the schedule gives wiggle room. Dallas does not play again until Wednesday and Milwaukee has Monday off before a Tuesday trip to Philadelphia. The simplest fix is moving the game a day, yet arena availability and travel windows could make rescheduling a real logistical headache.
