US EditionNBA game in Minneapolis between Warriors and Timberwolves postponed after shooting
The NBA postponed the Timberwolves-Warriors game to prioritize community safety after federal agents fatally shot a Minneapolis man, sparking protests and heightened security concerns.
- On Saturday, the NBA postponed the Minnesota Timberwolves–Golden State Warriors game in Minneapolis to prioritize the safety and security of the Minneapolis community and moved it back 24 hours to Sunday at 5:30 p.m. ET.
- Earlier this month, federal operations in Minneapolis included the killing of Renee Nicole Good on Jan. 7 during a protest, prompting thousands of marchers to call for an end to the ICE operation.
- Authorities say the Saturday shooting unfolded around 9 a.m. near East 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue when DHS said agents fired `defensive shots` after a man with a 9mm handgun approached.
- The protests caused local unrest that swelled past Target Center and the Warriors' downtown team hotel with thousands of marchers, shifting the Saturday broadcast from ABC to NBA TV and scheduling a Monday night rematch.
- The situation recalls 2020 when NBA playoff games paused after the Jacob Blake shooting resumed three days later; this month has seen multiple federal-agent shootings and ongoing protests, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said.
