US EditionMagic at Spurs tipping off at 7 p.m. on CW18
- The NBA moved the tipoff of the Orlando Magic versus San Antonio Spurs game to 7 p.m. ET on Sunday due to Spurs' travel issues, originally scheduled for 4 p.m. ET.
- A winter storm in Charlotte caused flights to be canceled, leaving the Spurs stranded overnight on a snow-filled tarmac more than 1,200 miles away.
- The weather forced the Hornets-Spurs game earlier, complicating the Spurs' travel timeline after their 111-106 loss at noon Saturday and planned Sunday departure for a back-to-back schedule.
- The Magic arrived late-afternoon Saturday after a 124-97 home loss to Charlotte, while San Antonio and its 16-6 home record are impacted by schedule changes.
- Because they're in different conferences, they meet only twice, and the Spurs won their prior meeting 114-112 this season.
