Snowed In: Bucks' Struggle to Reach Heat Game Highlights Weather Woes

The Milwaukee Bucks, featuring star player Giannis Antetokounmpo, arrived in New Orleans a day early for their game against the Pelicans. Sadly, New Orleans faced a historic snowfall on Tuesday, dumping up to 10 inches of snow and causing travel chaos. Flights were grounded, leaving the Bucks stranded. The NBA faced a challenge, as the Bucks' return to Milwaukee for their next game against the Heat was uncertain. However, with flights set to resume on Thursday afternoon, there's hope the Bucks can make it home in time.

Eric Nehm tweeted that if the Bucks can stick to their flight plan—leaving New Orleans at 2 p. m. and arriving in Milwaukee around 4 p. m. —the game will go on. The NBA doesn't plan to postpone the matchup just yet. New Orleans has seen its first measurable snowfall in 15 years, causing travel headaches for the sports team and others.
