The Detroit Pistons (13-39)' game scheduled Wednesday against the Washington Wizards (24-26) is postponed due to travel issues, the NBA announced.

Detroit played in Dallas on Monday and the team has still not made a return flight home due to poor weather conditions.

The Dallas area is currently under an ice storm warning due to freezing rain that has forced hundreds of flights in the area to be canceled.

The Mavericks beat the Pistons 111–105 on Monday. A rescheduled date for the Wizards-Pistons game is unknown and will be announced at a later time, per the league.

With the status of flights unclear, there's also uncertainty about the New Orleans Pelicans' travel to Dallas to take on the Mavericks on Thursday, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. In the same vein, Wednesday’s game against the Wizards is not the only one on the Pistons' slate this week; they’re also supposed to face the Hornets on Friday and Suns on Saturday- both at home in Detroit.

Despite the postponement, the Wizards still had a shootaround Wednesday morning in anticipation of the contest, according to The Athletic's Josh Robbins.

Numerous planes have been grounded around the Dallas-Fort Worth area with an ice storm warning in effect through Thursday morning for northern and western parts of the area.
