There is a massive snow storm in the southern region of the United States, and it has had a fairly significant impact on the sports world.

The snow storm, which has allowed Louisiana hockey players to play on a frozen Bourbon Street, is causing a delay for an NBA game between the New Orleans Pelicans and Milwaukee Bucks.

Due to icy roads that have caused closures, the league has decided to play this game on a different night. There is reportedly no new date set for when the game will reschedule. The Bucks are having trouble getting out of New Orleans, per reports.

Milwaukee is currently enjoying a four-game win streak and have one of the best records in the Eastern Conference.

New Orleans, meanwhile, has the second-worst record in the West and have struggled with injuries this season.

The two franchises made a franchise-altering transaction when the Pelicans traded Jrue Holiday to the Bucks in 2020. This helped Milwaukee secure an NBA championship in 2021.

Meanwhile, the Bucks have since used Holiday to land Damian Lillard as a counterpart for Giannis Antetokounmpo.
