The NBA postponed Monday’s game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Brooklyn Nets in the wake of the fatal police shooting of a Black man in a Minneapolis suburb.
“The National Basketball Association announced today that in light of the tragic events in the Minneapolis area yesterday, tonight’s game between the Brooklyn Nets and the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center has been postponed,” the league said in a statement.
The postponement came after the shooting of Daunte Wright by police in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Center on Sunday.
