The NBA has rescheduled Denver’s postponed game in Memphis for March 18, adding a league-leading 17th back-to-back to the Nuggets’ regular season.
The Nuggets were supposed to face the Grizzlies on Sunday afternoon, but the game was called off about three hours before tip due to inclement weather. The Nuggets spent three nights in Memphis, two more than they originally planned.
March 18 is sandwiched in the middle of a three-game homestand for the Nuggets, who will now fly to Memphis after hosting the 76ers on March 17. They’ll lose an hour going to central time for the second game of the back-to-back. Then they’re off March 19 before two more home games.
The Grizzlies don’t play on March 17. They were originally scheduled to host New York on March 18, but that game has now been moved to April 1 to make room for the Nuggets to visit.
