MINNEAPOLIS — The NBA has postponed the game between the Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors on Saturday at Target Center, after federal agents shot and killed a man in south Minneapolis, the league announced.

The teams are now set to play on Sunday at 4:30 p.m., the time they were scheduled to play Saturday. The teams are also set to play again Monday at Target Center.

“The decision was made to prioritize the the safety and security of the Minneapolis community,” the league said in a statement.

The league office made the call to postpone the game shortly before 2 p.m. Central time, which is around the time most players show up to the arena to begin their pregame preparations.

Neither the Wolves nor the Warriors were made available to reporters.

The team did not have a game on Jan. 7, when an ICE officer shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis. They played their regularly scheduled game against the Cavaliers on at Target Center on Jan. 8.

The Twins, citing “the situation in south Minneapolis and to provide for the expedited departure of all our guests,” announced they will end TwinsFest activities at Target Field early, shutting down at 4 p.m. Saturday.

The Gophers men’s basketball team played its game as scheduled against Nebraska at Williams Arena on Saturday morning. The Wild are planning to play defending Stanley Cup champion Florida at Grand Casino Arena on Saturday night as scheduled.
