The NBA has postponed tonight’s matchup between the Denver Nuggets and Memphis Grizzlies at FedExForum due to dangerous inclement weather conditions impacting the Memphis area.
The game, originally scheduled for Sunday, January 25, 2026, has been rescheduled. The new date will be announced at a later time by the league.
What Caused the Postponement?
Severe winter weather—including heavy snow, ice, and freezing temperatures—has created hazardous travel and road conditions across much of the Mid-South region. Memphis and surrounding areas have been under winter storm warnings, with significant snowfall and ice accumulation making it unsafe for fans, players, staff, and officials to safely reach the arena or for normal game operations.
This marks the latest in a series of weather-related postponements across professional sports this winter season, as parts of the country continue to grapple with extreme cold and storms.
Impact on Teams and Standings
Both the Nuggets and Grizzlies are in the thick of the Western Conference playoff race:
- The Denver Nuggets, led by Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray, have been one of the top teams in the West all season.
- The Memphis Grizzlies, powered by Ja Morant and a deep supporting cast, are fighting to secure a top-six seed and avoid the play-in tournament.
The postponement means both teams will have an extra day of rest before their next scheduled games. The Nuggets’ upcoming slate and the Grizzlies’ schedule will be adjusted accordingly once the rescheduled date is confirmed.
How to Stay Updated
Fans can follow official NBA channels, the Nuggets’ and Grizzlies’ team websites, and social media for the latest updates on the rescheduled game date and time. Ticket holders will be contacted directly with information on how to use their tickets for the new date.
The NBA and both teams will continue to monitor the weather situation closely and prioritize the safety of everyone involved.
