PHILADELPHIA -- A scheduled game between the Sacramento Kings and Philadelphia 76ers was postponed Wednesday night by the NBA because of condensation on the court at the Wells Fargo Center.The game, which was slated to start at 7 p.m., was called off at 8:03 p.m. A makeup date was not immediately announced.The Philadelphia Flyers hosted an NHL game at the arena Tuesday night and the ice surface remained under the basketball court -- standard procedure at the Wells Fargo Center.

By pregame warmups, the problem had worsened.It was pretty bad, Cousins said.

He entered averaging 35.3 points in his last four games and was disappointed the contest was postponed.Guys go through their ritual, guys prepare for their games and, like that, theyre telling us were not playing; its kind of disappointing, he said. Im kind of glad it did go this way. Player safety should be considered first. I think they made the right decision.Sacramento announced the postponement on Twitter and razzed the 76ers, saying yall can trust the process but not the floor? Smh (shake my head), (at)Sixers.Fans booed when the postponement was announced. 76ers CEO Scott ONeil said tickets to Wednesdays contest would be valid for the makeup game, and fans in attendance also would get an additional ticket to another game -- either Dec. 5 vs. Denver, Dec. 14 vs. Toronto or Dec. 18 vs. Brooklyn -- plus a rebate on parking.I know this is a tremendous inconvenience to the fans, so I certainly apologize on behalf of the organization, ONeil said.Its the first postponement in the NBA since the league called off two games on Jan. 23 -- Philadelphia at Boston and Utah at Washington -- because of a winter storm.
