Snow Delays Travel to Portland Trail Blazers, Oklahoma City Thunder

The Portland Trail Blazers and Oklahoma City Thunder are planning to travel late Wednesday afternoon for games to be played in other cities on Wednesday night.

After meeting Tuesday night in Oklahoma City, the Blazers and Thunder had trouble getting out because of snow in the area. The Trail Blazers announced that they are leaving Oklahoma City in the late afternoon, after their original flight on Tuesday night had to be postponed. The Blazers will now fly to New Orleans and head straight to the Smoothie King Center for a 8 pm tip at CT on Wednesday night.

Oklahoma City will do the same, team officials told ESPN, going directly to FedExForum to play against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night. This game is also scheduled to have a local tip at 8pm.

Earlier on Wednesday, Memphis announced that fans would not be allowed to attend due to winter weather conditions in the area. The Grizzlies had fans present for the game on Tuesday night against the Pelicans.
