NEW YORK — The NBA has announced new dates for four games as a result of the winter storm’s impact on the Memphis and Dallas areas.
Poor weather last weekend forced the postponement of two scheduled Sunday games: Dallas at Milwaukee and Detroit at Memphis.
The Nuggets-Grizzlies game has been rescheduled for March 18, while the Mavericks-Bucks game now will take place March 31.
The dates have been changed for two other upcoming games to accommodate the weather-related schedule shifts.
Memphis will host Dallas on March 12 rather than April 1. A Grizzlies home game with the New York Knicks will be April 1 instead of March 18.
Meanwhile, the Denver Nuggets will be without forward Aaron Gordon for at least a month after he reinjured his right hamstring last week at Milwaukee.
The team said Thursday before hosting Brooklyn that Gordon will be evaluated again in 4 to 6 weeks. Gordon is averaging 17.7 points and 6.2 rebounds this season.
“I’m more concerned about Aaron as a person, and trying to get him in the right headspace to complete this short journey again that he just went through,” Nuggets coach David Adelman said. “It’s just been one of those years. It’s been a crazy year.”
Gordon missed 19 games earlier this season with a strained left hamstring. The Nuggets also are without center Nikola Jokic (left knee), forward Cameron Johnson (right knee) and forward Christian Braun (left ankle).
Jokic, a three-time MVP, led the NBA in rebounding (12.2) and assists (11.0) and was the team’s leading scorer at 29.6 points per game when he was injured at Miami on Dec. 29.
