The Detroit Pistons are stuck in Dallas until at least Wednesday, the day they’re scheduled to play against the Washington Wizards in Detroit, team sources told The Athletic.
The Pistons faced the Mavericks on Monday night but were unable to leave after the game due to an issue with the plane and the weather in Dallas. The weather and logistical problems on Tuesday forced Detroit to sit for hours on the tarmac before getting off the plane and making a safety decision and staying one more night in Texas.
One would assume that the NBA will reschedule the Wednesday matchup between the Pistons and Wizards since Detroit — if the weather improves by Wednesday morning — wouldn’t be arriving home until just mere hours before tip-off.
The Dallas area is experiencing “hazardous weather conditions” with a chance of freezing rain Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.
The Pistons lost 111-105 to the Mavericks on Monday, after Luka Dončić scored 53 points. Detroit is 13-39 and sitting 15th in the Eastern Conference with upcoming home games scheduled against the Hornets on Friday and the Suns on Saturday.
