The game in Tennessee between the Denver Nuggets and the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday, January 25, has been postponed due to adverse weather conditions. The NBA took the call just two hours before tip-off to reschedule the game due to extreme weather conditions. Interestingly, the players were already out on the court warming up for the 1:30 p.m. MT tip-off in Memphis until they learned otherwise.
For now, the NBA has revealed “the date for the rescheduled game will be announced at a later time.” But given the Nuggets are already in Memphis, most people are predicting that the game could be played on Monday before traveling to Detroit to face the Pistons on Tuesday.
While it is extremely rare for NBA games to get postponed due to weather conditions, given the intense snowfall in Memphis, the league felt it was better for the fans and also for the players to stay off the road in such situations.

Interestingly, this is the second game getting postponed in as many games, though for very different reasons. The NBA postponed Saturday’s game between the Golden State Warriors and the Minnesota Timberwolves after federal officers fatally shot a man in Minneapolis close to the game’s venue, Target Center.
