Sources: NBA postpones Blazers-Nets game

As an epic blizzard looms over the Northeast, the NBA has postponed the Portland Trail Blazers-Brooklyn Nets game scheduled for Monday night at the Barclays Center in New York, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

The league is expected to make a formal announcement soon.

There was no immediate rescheduled date, but the Blazers' schedule will likely necessitate that they have to fly cross-country for a single game against Brooklyn later in the season.

The Blazers arrived in New York on Sunday for the game, but estimates of 3 to 4 inches of snow an hour and 60 mile-per-hour winds on Monday night pushed league officials to postpone the game.

The Blazers will try to leave New York on Monday to reach Cleveland for Wednesday’s game before air travel becomes impossible.
