Saturday’s game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors was postponed after a 37-year-old man was shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis amid the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the city.
“The decision was made to prioritize the safety and security of the Minneapolis community,” the league said in a statement.

The NBA announced that the game has been rescheduled for 5:30 p.m. ET Sunday at Target Center.
The victim was identified by his parents as Alex Pretti, an intensive care unit nurse.
Including the Jan. 7 shooting death of Renee Good, it was the second fatal shooting and third in 17 days involving Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minneapolis.
