The NBA announced on Saturday afternoon that the 27-18 Minnesota Timberwolves game schedule for tonight against the 25-21 Golden State Warriors has been postponed due to the escalating tensions in the city of Minneapolis.
According to ESPN insider Shams Charania the postponement comes "in the wake of a man shot and killed Saturday in a confrontation with federal agents in the city"

Today's postponement comes in the wake of a 37-year-old white male, who's now been identified as Alex Jeffrey Pretti (per Star Tribune) , being shot and killed on Nicollet Avenue late Saturday morning by Federal ICE agents. Pretti was armed at the time of the incident.
Saturday's tragedy — which was caught on camera and quickly uploaded to the internet from multiple angles — has inflamed ongoing ICE protests in Minneapolis, which were already growing more hostile by the day.
