The NBA has adjusted the start times for two games on Monday, citing hazardous winter weather in the southeastern United States.
The Indiana Pacers will now face the Atlanta Hawks at 12:30 p.m. CT at State Farm Arena, more than six hours earlier than the previously scheduled 6:30 p.m. CT slot.
In Charlotte, the Philadelphia 76ers and the Charlotte Hornets are set to tip off at 2:00 p.m. CT instead of the original 6:00 p.m. CT start.
The league announced the changes Sunday on social media after Winter Storm Fern led to the postponement of two Sunday contests. Reporters Brad Rowland and Rod Boone noted the original times for the Atlanta and Charlotte games, respectively.
No further alterations to Monday’s schedule were revealed.
