NEW YORK -- The NBA has announced new dates for four games as a result of the winter storm's impact on the Memphis and Dallas areas. Poor weather last weekend forced the postponement of two scheduled Sunday games: Dallas at Milwaukee and Detroit at Memphis. The Nuggets-Grizzlies game has been rescheduled for March 18, while the Mavericks-Bucks game now will take place March 31.
The new schedule is set to kick off from next Monday, November 10. Morning Ireland remains in place from 7am to 9am, with the first change coming from 9am when Today with David McCullagh takes up a new 9am-11am slot. McCullagh is taking on presenting duties for the Today programme following the departure of Claire Byrne, who is set to make the move over to Newstalk and replace Pat Kenny on the commercial station's mid-morning show.
MIES, Switzerland -- Basketball at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics will start two days before the opening ceremony for those Games, organizers confirmed Wednesday. FIBA, the sport's global governing body, said that it has reviewed a revised basketball schedule for Los Angeles and that games will begin on July 12, 2028 -- ahead of the July 14 opening ceremony. It is unclear if the men's tournament, the women's tournament or both will start before the official opening.
