The game against the Golden State Warriors now airs on Sunday on ABC25 at 5:30 p.m. EST.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The NBA primetime game between the Golden State Warriors and the Minnesota Timberwolves will not be played Saturday due to another deadly shooting involving a federal agent in Minneapolis.
The game was rescheduled for 5:30 p.m. EST on Sunday. Viewers on the First Coast will be able to watch it live on ABC25. The Timberwolves and Warriors are also scheduled to play on Monday night.
The league announced the decision was made to “prioritize the safety and security of the Minneapolis community” after 37-year-old Alex Pretti was killed in a confrontation with officers on a street in a commercial district less than two miles from Target Center, the downtown arena where the Timberwolves play. With the crowd of protesters growing around the shooting site on Saturday, the Minnesota National Guard was assisting local police to try to keep the peace.
The Minnesota Twins were holding their annual winter fan festival at Target Field, across the street from Target Center, and ended the event an hour early for the “expedited departure” of all guests.
Thousands of people marched through downtown on Friday with the air temperature well below zero in protest of the presence and tactics of the federal force that swelled to about 3,000 officers in the Twin Cities area this month as part of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.
