Games postponed along the East Coast as snowstorm approaches

Saturday night’s game in Washington, D.C. between the Wizards and Jazz, along with several other games, has been postponed due to an incoming snowstorm.

A snowstorm is approaching the east coast this weekend, affecting several scheduled basketball and hockey games.

The NBA announced that two games scheduled for Saturday — Jazz-Wizards in Washington, D.C. and Celtics-Sixers in Philadelphia — have been postponed. Boston and Philly will play on Sunday at 7 p.m. ET, while no make-up date has been set for the other game.

Another event scheduled in D.C., the Capitals’ game with the Ducks, has been postponed by the NHL.

The National Weather Service issued a blizzard warning for D.C. that will remain in effect from 3 p.m. ET on Friday until 6 a.m. on Saturday. Snow accumulation of up to two feet is expected, with winds at 25 to 35 miles per hour.

The storm also forced a handful of schedule changes in college basketball, including eight in the Atlantic 10 between men’s and women’s teams.

Syracuse at No. 13 Virginia - rescheduled for Sunday 7PM ET
