Storm Emilia Forces Postponement of BaskoniaGran Canaria Game in Las Palmas

Venue closures under ongoing weather alerts leave a Sunday replay in doubt.

Overview

  • Local authorities halted the ACB matchup after AEMET labeled the storm of great impact with gusts over 140 km/h, heavy rain, hail, snow and strong coastal waves.
  • The Cabildo de Gran Canaria has closed sports facilities and will not authorize play until the alert level drops and safety is assured.
  • Both teams and the assigned referees are already on the island, with Baskonia remaining at its hotel and a Sunday return flight planned if operations allow.
  • Organizers favor a next‑day slot, yet holiday restrictions under the ACB collective agreement and continental commitments leave few alternatives.
  • Reporting points to Tuesday 13 January as the most workable window, which could push Baskonia to 17 games in 40 days, with further late‑January options constrained by Copa qualification rules.
