The NBA game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors was postponed due to a fatal shooting involving a Border Patrol agent. The agency's statement said that an officer was injured while responding to a disturbance and that medics on scene immediately delivered medical aid, but the subject was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the suspect was armed with a gun and two magazines, and had no ID. The incident is described as "maximum damage" by DHS officials who stated that an individual wanted to do maximum harm to law enforcement officers.
This latest incident comes after Renee Good, 37, was killed while operating a vehicle that agents ordered her to exit, according to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. In the shooting, Good refused to exit her vehicle and "attempted to run them over and ram them with her vehicle," according to DHS officials.
Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr called for justice in Renee Good's killing, stating that "it's shameful" that law enforcement officers who commit murder seemingly get away with it. The NBA game between the Timberwolves and Warriors has been rescheduled for Sunday.
In Minneapolis, where the incident occurred, the area is tense following a protest by ICE agents in January 2026, which resulted in tear gas being fired at protesters. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz urged the agents to leave his state after the shooting.
The NBA has stated that it prioritized the safety and security of the Minneapolis community by postponing the game on Saturday.

i mean, what's next? cancel the whole league? but hey, at least the game is rescheduled for sunday, so we can all just pretend everything is fine again 
. btw, steve kerr is kinda right though, it is pretty shameful when someone kills a cop and gets away with it... but let's not jump to conclusions here 
.
Police brutality is a big problem in this country 
. Can't have athletes playing while families are still grieving over random shootings 
. Game needs to be rescheduled for when everyone is ready to move forward 
.
. I mean, can't we all just get along? There's this huge incident where a Border Patrol agent gets shot to death in broad daylight and now a whole NBA game gets postponed because of it... it's like, what even is the point here?
.
I'm genuinely troubled by this latest incident, especially with the suspect being armed and not having any ID. It's sad that this had to happen in a city already dealing with tension from previous ICE-related protests 
. As for the NBA game postponement, while it's understandable they prioritized community safety, it feels like another layer of sports getting put on hold when people are genuinely hurting 
.
. I think the NBA should consider rescheduling games in areas where tensions run high so that they don't become a distraction from real-life concerns 
.
, what's going on with our justice system?! the Warriors coach saying it's shameful that law enforcement officers get away with murder is a huge understatement 
, we need real change now 
, not just empty words from politicians 
, and another thing, why are we still waiting for answers about Renee Good's killing? 
i wish the nba would just have been more proactive about addressing this issue instead of just postponing the game for a day ... like, what's the point of even having a schedule if it's just gonna be all over the place? 
. Hope that everyone involved gets the help they need and justice is served 
. Don't forget those who can't speak out, they're counting on us 
.
" because I feel for the officers who were responding to a disturbance... but at the same time, what if they overreacted? 
ID or not, it's still kinda weird. And can we talk about how the police department is handling all this? 
what's really goin on here? is it just an accident or are they tryin' to silence people who speak out against the system? i'm thinkin' conspiracy, you know? 
and now the NBA game gets postponed 'cause of all this... maybe they're tryin' to avoid gettin' caught up in whatever's goin on. 
.
.
so we're gonna postpone an NBA game because of a Border Patrol agent getting shot, but what about all those people who are literally being shot every day in America? Like, can't they prioritize that for once? 
It's just so convenient to cancel the game when something bad happens to someone with a gun. And what's up with the suspect not having an ID? Are we supposed to be like "oh well" about that? 
, can't a guy even enjoy an NBA game in peace? i mean i feel for the law enforcement officer who got shot but at the same time, you gotta ask why there are so many incidents like this happening in the US right now 
. and then you have politicians like Kristi Noem saying "maximum damage" like that's okay 
!
the security of a whole community should be a priority 1st tho 
... but seriously, hope they get the shooter brought in and justice served for Renee Good and all those other victims 
. I feel for them, you know? It's just not fair that someone can die like that in a car chase... 
how many lives are being lost because of these kinds of situations? and what about Renee Good, she was just trying to protect herself 
.
. We need real systemic changes here 
.
