Timberwolves’ NBA Match Suspended After Fatal Shooting in Minneapolis

A fatal shooting by a federal agent in Minneapolis on Saturday triggered citywide protests and led the NBA to cancel the Minnesota Timberwolves’ home game against the Golden State Warriors. The 2025‑26 season opener, slated for 7:30 p.m. at Target Center, was postponed after the shooting left a victim dead and raised safety concerns amid growing tensions in downtown Minneapolis. League officials and team management decided to cancel the event for the night, citing security risks to players, staff and fans. The Timberwolves will seek a new date, but the Saturday fixture remains officially off the schedule. Protesters gathered on St. Anthony and Saint Anthony Streets, while police maintained a curfew. The cancellation highlights the broader impact of the incident on the NBA calendar.
