Overview
- The Spurs were stranded overnight in Charlotte after Saturday’s noon game when heavy snow closed the airport following roughly two hours on the tarmac.
- The team’s Sunday morning departure was diverted to Atlanta for a minor mechanical issue tied to cabin equipment, prompting a plane switch and further delay.
- Tipoff, originally set for 4 p.m. ET, was first moved to 7 p.m. ET and then to 9 p.m. ET (8 p.m. CT) to accommodate the Spurs’ late arrival.
- Victor Wembanyama (left calf soreness) and Stephon Castle (left adductor tightness) were listed as questionable for the rescheduled game.
- The Magic had arrived in San Antonio on Saturday, gaining a rest advantage as the National Weather Service’s warnings for heavy snow and high winds in Charlotte spurred widespread travel disruptions.
