Winter Storm Advances Philadelphia 76ers vs. Charlotte Hornets Game Time
The Philadelphia 76ers are set to face off against the Charlotte Hornets in a game that has been rescheduled due to severe winter weather. Originally planned for 7 p.m. on Monday, the NBA adjusted the start time to 3 p.m. The move reflects the significant impact of the winter storm affecting much of the United States.
Winter Storm Impact and Weather Updates
The winter storm has brought substantial snowfall to Philadelphia, accumulating 9.1 inches, marking the city’s largest snow event in a decade. The previous significant snowfall was recorded in 2016, with 22.4 inches reported. Areas such as Allentown in the Lehigh Valley experienced roughly a foot of snow.
Upcoming Weather Conditions
- Temperatures are predicted to drop below freezing over the next week.
- Highs will reach only the low 20s.
- Overnight lows may dip to single digits or below zero.
As a result, residents should prepare for the snow to remain on the ground for an extended period. January will end and February will begin with bitterly cold temperatures in the region.
Game Preview: 76ers vs. Hornets
The Philadelphia 76ers enter the game with a record of 24-20 following their recent loss to the New York Knicks. In that game, Joel Embiid scored 38 points but will not play against the Hornets due to a left knee injury. Paul George is also sidelined with similar injury management issues.
This game against the Hornets is crucial for the 76ers as they look to bounce back and adapt to the challenges posed by the current weather conditions.
