US EditionWarriors Reflect on ‘Bizarre,’ ‘Sad’ Night After Alex Pretti Shooting in Minneapolis
The game was postponed to prioritize safety amid protests after federal agents fatally shot Alex Pretti, an intensive care nurse, sparking unrest in Minneapolis and beyond.
- On Jan. 25, 2026, the NBA rescheduled the Warriors-Timberwolves matchup for 24 hours after federal agents shot and killed Alex Pretti, moving the game to Sunday at Target Center, Minneapolis, where Golden State won 111-85.
- Federal authorities reported that during a Jan. 24, 2026 operation, U.S. Border Patrol shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti after he allegedly resisted disarmament, but a bystander video and family rejected this account.
- Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said, `A night like tonight, you feel the perspective on everything and the relative insignificance of a game with an atmosphere like that, knowing everything that’s happened, knowing where our country is right now,` and `I thought the vibe in the stands was one of the most bizarre, sad games I’ve ever been a part of.`
- Thousands of demonstrators in Minneapolis sparked large protests that spread to the Bay Area, including San Francisco and San Jose, and the Warriors and Timberwolves are set to meet again Monday night.
- Kerr’s comments followed two fatal encounters in recent weeks as community leaders and advocates demand transparency after the Jan. 7 death of Renée Nicole Good and disputed federal accounts.
