NBA Game Postponed in Minneapolis Following Shooting, Sparks Protest Calls
Due to a fatal shooting by a federal officer in Minneapolis, the NBA game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors was postponed on Saturday and rescheduled for Sunday. The decision was made to ensure the safety of the Minneapolis community following the death of 37-year-old Alex Pretti, who was killed in a confrontation with officers. Protests have been ongoing in the area regarding the presence of federal officers as part of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. The Minnesota Twins also ended their winter fan festival early due to the situation.
