UPDATE: The Dallas Mavericks are stranded in Dallas after a devastating loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, as a severe winter storm hits the region. Following their Saturday night defeat, the Mavericks rushed to Dallas Love Field in hopes of catching a flight to Milwaukee for their game against the Bucks, scheduled for 6 p.m. Central on Sunday. However, they were forced to turn back due to unsafe travel conditions.
Heavy precipitation, including freezing rain, sleet, and snow, has impacted the Dallas area, prompting the team to postpone their departure. With more snow expected on Sunday, the Mavericks face a tight window to reach Milwaukee in time for the game.
Mavericks coach Jason Kidd had anticipated travel challenges earlier in the week, hinting at potential disruptions to upcoming games. “But now the other games could be in doubt,” Kidd mentioned. The NBA has not yet provided an update on the status of Sunday’s matchup.
Despite the uncertainty, Mavericks center Daniel Gafford expressed optimism during his postgame media session. “I just hope and pray we make it before the storm hits,” he said, underscoring the urgency of their situation.
The Bucks will be without their star player, Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is sidelined with a right calf injury, adding further complexity to the game. As the Mavericks navigate this unexpected challenge, fans are left wondering if they will make it to Milwaukee in time.
Stay tuned for the latest updates on the Mavericks’ travel plans and game status as conditions continue to evolve.
