The NBA is postponing Saturday afternoon’s game between the Rockets and the Hawks, the league announced in a press release (Twitter link).

According to the release, the decision was made in consultation with local officials amid severe weather and hazardous icy conditions in the Atlanta area. The new game date will be decided at a later date.

This marks the league’s third postponement announcement in as many days, though the other affected games are due to the ongoing wildfires in the Los Angeles area.

The Rockets are next scheduled to return home to play the Grizzlies on Monday, while the Hawks don’t play again until Tuesday in Atlanta.

The Hawks said (via Twitter) original parking and tickets would remain valid for entry for the new date, whenever that ends up being.
