The NBA has further delayed the San Antonio Spurs' home game against the Orlando Magic after the team experienced additional travel complications. The Spurs' charter plane had minor equipment issues and was forced to divert to Atlanta, pushing the game back to 8 p.m. Sunday.
Why it matters
The Spurs and Magic were originally scheduled to play on Friday, but the game was delayed due to a heavy snowstorm that shut down the Charlotte airport following the Spurs' previous road game. This latest delay adds further disruption to the teams' schedules and could impact their preparation and performance.
