Boston may not be hit too hard by snow this weekend, but the storm striking the East coast will still impact the Celtics schedule.

The NBA announced that the Celtics-76ers game in Philadelphia this weekend has been postponed due to the weather. Originally scheduled for Saturday night, tip-off is now set for Sunday at 7 p.m.

The Celtics still plan to travel to Philadelphia late Friday night after hosting the Chicago Bulls, but travel could have posed more of an issue for some of the fans. In anticipation of heavy snow, the Philadelphia airport has already canceled some weekend flights.

The postponement will give the Celtics a back-to-back with Monday's trip to visit the Washington Wizards. It also sets up a full Sunday for Boston sports fans, who can now enjoy Isaiah Thomas-Ish Smith after sitting down for Patriots-Broncos.
