MINNEAPOLIS — The NBA postponed Saturday night’s game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors at Target Center hours after the fatal shooting of a city resident by federal agents in south Minneapolis. The league said the decision was made to “prioritize the safety and security of the Minneapolis community.”

If you were planning to settle in on the couch this Saturday night, popcorn in hand, ready to watch Anthony Edwards trade buckets with Steph Curry, you likely found yourself staring at a blank screen or a hastily rearranged broadcast schedule.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are back in action Thursday with a home matchup against the Chicago Bulls. The Wolves are coming off a 127–122 road loss to Utah on Tuesday. Anthony Edwards led the way with 38 points and eight rebounds.

Most tickets in the lower bowl — which is sold out this season — are increasing by at least 8%, with plenty of those seats increasing in cost by far more. Fans on social media reported increases for their lower-level tickets of 25% and higher.

Sometimes, the schedule breaks your way. Sometimes, the stars align—or in this case, sit out. For the Minnesota Timberwolves, a team desperate to find its footing after a brutal stretch, Monday night wasn’t about style points.

The Golden State Warriors are in action on Sunday, but they could be without two-time NBA MVP Steph Curry. The Warriors were scheduled to face the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday, but the NBA postponed the game due to unrest in Minneapolis.
