DALLAS — The Liberty’s game against the Dallas Wings on Thursday has been postponed to next week after New York experienced significant travel delays due to mechanical issues with the team’s charter plane.
The WNBA announced Thursday morning that the contest will be moved to Monday at 8 p.m. ET. The Wings will honor all tickets purchased for the original gameday.
Rookie Pauline Astier first shared the travel disruptions on her Instagram story around 10:25 p.m. Wednesday.
“10h après toujours sur le tamarac,” she wrote while sharing a photo of her sitting on the plane alongside developmental player Marine Fauthoux.
That translates to, “10 hours later, still on the tarmac.”
The Liberty switched planes once before deboarding around 12:30 a.m.
Dallas also had its fair share of weather issues Wednesday.
The Federal Aviation Administration issued a ground stop Wednesday afternoon at DFW International Airport and Dallas Love Field, effectively pausing flights from departing and arriving as a storm hit North Texas.
Severe thunderstorms in the New York area also caused flight delays.
The Liberty canceled shootaround Thursday.
A team spokesperson didn’t return The Post’s request for comment.
