- Rookie Pauline Astier reported on Instagram that the team was stuck on the tarmac for over 10 hours and had to switch planes before finally deboarding around 12:30 a.m.
- Weather disruptions affected both teams, with severe thunderstorms causing flight delays in New York and the FAA issuing a ground stop at Dallas airports due to storms in North Texas.
- The Dallas Wings will honor all tickets purchased for the original game date, and the Liberty canceled their shootaround on Thursday ahead of the rescheduled game.
