Snow causes travel delays for Portland Trail Blazers, Oklahoma City Thunder

The Portland Trail Blazers and Oklahoma City Thunder both plan to travel later Wednesday afternoon for games played in other cities on Wednesday-evening.

After a Tuesday night encounter in Oklahoma City, both the Blazers and Thunder had trouble leaving due to snow in the area. The Trail Blazers made an announcement that they will be leaving Oklahoma City later this afternoon after their original flight had to be postponed Tuesday night. Now the Blazers will fly to New Orleans and head straight to the Smoothie King Center for an 8:00 PM CT tip Wednesday night.

Oklahoma City will do the same, team officials told ESPN, who went straight to FedExForum to play against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night. That match is also scheduled to have 8pm local tip.

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