北卡罗来纳州夏洛特电 — 一位球队发言人告知《圣安东尼奥快报》，马刺队已于下午1:21从亚特兰大起飞，预计将于周日下午3:30（中部时间）左右抵达圣安东尼奥。
在被迫于夏洛特过夜后，马刺队的球队大巴于上午8点从酒店出发，随后球队于东部时间上午10:21乘坐私人飞机离开北卡罗来纳州。该球队发言人表示，一个“轻微的设备问题”导致飞机备降亚特兰大，马刺队在那里更换了另一架飞机。
除非NBA再次更改开赛时间，否则马刺队在抵达圣安东尼奥后，将直接前往霜冻银行中心，参加下午6点对阵奥兰多魔术队的比赛。
此前，NBA已将本场比赛的开球时间从原定的下午3点推迟至下午6点。
本场比赛将由当地的FanDuel体育网络进行电视转播。
一场席卷北卡罗来纳州的冬季暴雪，导致马刺队在周六晚滞留夏洛特。就在当天早些时候，他们刚刚以106-111不敌黄蜂队。
赛后，马刺队在私人飞机上等待了两个多小时，希望能最终起飞返回圣安东尼奥，但一位球队发言人表示，由于机场管理部门关闭了机场，他们将入住酒店过夜。
据《夏洛特观察家报》报道，夏洛特正面临近十年来最强的一次降雪，一场强烈的“炸弹气旋”正在猛烈袭击该地区，冬季风暴警报将持续生效至周日上午7点。
NBC在夏洛特的附属电视台WCNC-TV报道称，机场积雪已达6.1英寸，最终总降雪量可能高达9英寸。
对于赛季期间突然出现的后勤挑战，马刺队并不陌生。上赛季，他们就曾因2025年1月肆虐洛杉矶地区的山火，导致一场原定对阵湖人队的比赛被推迟。
当时的那场大火还迫使马刺队在那次客场之旅中更换了下榻的酒店。
“是的，当你像我们这样频繁地旅行时，显然必须随时保持灵活，”马刺队教练米奇·约翰逊在周六的比赛前说道。“我们现在已经在全联盟范围内看到了一些比赛被提前或取消的情况。”
马刺队前锋凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 表示，球队已经学会了“从容应对各种突发状况”。
“我们清楚自己的赛程会遇到什么情况，我们知道必须继续团结一致，克服困难，”他说道。

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Spurs are scheduled to arrive in San Antonio around 3:30 p.m. Central on Sunday after taking off from Atlanta at 1:21 p.m., a team spokesman told the San Antonio Express-News.
After being forced to spend the night in Charlotte, the Spurs left North Carolina on their private jet at 10:21 a.m. Eastern after the team bus departed from the team hotel at 8 a.m. A “minor equipment issue” forced the plane to divert to Atlanta, where the Spurs switched to a new plane, the team spokesman said.
Barring another change in the start time by the NBA, the Spurs will head straight to the Frost Bank Center for their 6 p.m. game against Orlando after they touch down in San Antonio.
The NBA moved back tip off for the game to 6 p.m. after it was originally scheduled for 3 o’clock.
The game will be televised locally on FanDuel Sports Network.
The winter storm that has blanketed North Carolina with heavy snow kept the Spurs in Charlotte on Saturday night after their 111-106 loss to the Hornets earlier in the day.
The Spurs sat on their private plane for two-plus hours after the game hoping to eventually take off for San Antonio, but a team spokesman said they would be checking into a hotel for the night after officials closed the airport.
Charlotte is facing its most significant snowfall in nearly a decade as a powerful bomb cyclone hammers the region and a winter storm warning is in effect through 7 a.m. Sunday, the Charlotte Observer reported.
NBC-affiliate WCNC-TV in Charlotte reported that 6.1 inches of snow has accumulated at the airport. The final total could be as high as nine inches.
The Spurs are no strangers to logistical challenges that pop up during the course of the season. Last season, they had a scheduled game against the Lakers postponed due to the wildfires that ravaged the Los Angeles area in January 2025.
The fires forced the Spurs to change team hotels during that trip.
“Yeah, you got to obviously be flexible at times when you travel as much as we do,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said before Saturday’s game. “We’ve seen it now across the league where there’s been a few games moved up or canceled.”
Spurs forward Keldon Johnson said the team has learned to “roll with the punches.”
“We know what to expect with our schedule and we know we got to continue to just come together and get it done,” he said.
