To note, the date for the rescheduled game has not been announced at this time.
Looking ahead, there's also concern about the Bucks being able to depart New Orleans, as they are scheduled to host the Miami Heat tomorrow night in Milwaukee at 7:30 pm ET.
On the other hand, Pelicans will begin a three-game road trip in Memphis vs. the Grizzlies on Friday.
