Did the Suns get out of Denver?

I saw the airport in Denver won't open until tomorrow afternoon.

I heard they didn't make it out.

I heard via the radio about an hour ago that they're still stuck in Denver.

If true, then tomorrow's game will probably be cancelled.

 

[Espo]

They are scheduled to leave tomorrow at noon.

Okay, here is the latest from Denver. I just finished chatting with Head Athletic Trainer (and travel coordinator) Aaron Nelson, along with Mike D'Antoni. The Denver airport is closed until Friday at noon.

At that time we hope to bus to the airport and then wait for our plane. It will be a waiting game as we then are staring at the possibility of arriving just in time for the game against the Wizards(luckily it's an 8:30 p.m. tip), depending on when we can fly out of here.

There are thousands of stranded commercial travellers who are now being bussed to hotels. Many of them are now coming here to The Westin. Due to the endless snowdrifts over the last 24 hours, planes are covered with snowbanks of up to five feet at the airport.

The team is hoping to bus over to The Pepsi Center for a shootaround in about an hour. Unfortunately the bus driver is now trying to dig-out of a snow bank himself. The Suns may actually be working out with members of the Nuggets who are scheduled to have a light workout themselves.

There was actually conversation about still trying to get the game in tonight! The NHL contest set for this evening has now been cancelled as well. That led to talk of trying to get the Suns and Nuggets together, but again travel complications and logistics with the State of Emergency squelched that idea.

Will keep in touch as plans change by the minute. The adventure continues from the Rockies...

They should just play the game at one of the Nuggets players house. I'm sure one of them has a full indoor court at their pad.

I hope they make it back in time...I have tickets for the game tomorrow night!

So a Suns home game could be canceled because of snow?

How about that ...

 

[slinslin]

Why couldn't these guys cancel the game BEFORE the Suns actually get there. I mean why to we have weather forecast and such.

So do I.

Last i heard was that if they can get out by noon they'll have a shoot around and play the game. However, if they can't get out the game could be pushed back to Saturday.

Like it has been said, the plan is for them to leave Denver at noon tomorrow. If that doesn't work they are working on plans to play Saturday.

"The Suns remained snowbound in a downtown Denver hotel Thursday, practicing at the nearby Pepsi Center and getting into a snowball fight to pass the time.

The Denver airport was closed Thursday and wasn't expected to reopen until about noon Friday. A chartered plane was being sent to Denver and the team planned to leave sometime in the afternoon.

The Suns will play the Washington Wizards in Phoenix on Friday night. The game is a late start, 8:30 p.m. MST, which should allow the team to get home in plenty of time."
