Why Minnesota Timberwolves v Golden State Warriors was postponed? Details out after Alex Pretti shooting

The Minnesota Timberwolves versus Golden State Warriors NBA game has been postponed after another fatal shooting in Minneapolis where Alex Pretti was killed. The 37-year-old nurse was shot dead by Border Patrol agents in front of Glam Doll Donuts on Saturday. A federal agent lobs a teargas canister towards protesters as agents advance through clouds of tear gas during clashes following the fatal shooting of a protester earlier in the day, on January 24, 2026 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. (AFP) This shooting comes at a time when tempers in Minneapolis are frayed over the killing of Renee Nicole Good by ICE agent Jonathan Ross. Governor Tim Walz has already called for federal agents to exit the Minnesota operations while the administration has identified Pretti as a ‘suspect’. “The federal occupation of Minnesota long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. It is a campaign of organized brutality against the people of our state. And today, that campaign claimed yet another life,” Walz said, adding, “Minnesotans and our local law enforcement have done everything we can …

NBA: With Stephen Curry out injured, Golden State Warriors eliminated by Minnesota Timberwolves | Basketball News

Former NBA champions Golden State Warriors were eliminated from the playoffs by the Minnesota Timberwolves one step away from the Western Conference finals. The Warriors were forced to play without star Stephen Curry, who has been out with a hamstring strain since the second quarter in Game 1. The series ended early for the Warriors with a 121-110 defeat in Game 5. The former NBA champs were hoping to stay alive at least their talisman Curry returned to action. While the team’s second star Jimmy Butler had 17 points for the Warriors, players like Brandin Podziemski, who scored a playoff career-high 28 points for the Warriors, and Jonathan Kuminga, who came off the bench for the team and scored 26 points. Curry watched from the sidelines as his 16th season in the league ended unceremoniously. Before eliminating the Warriors, the Minnesota Timberwolves had also shown the exit door to the Los Angeles Lakers. They have now earned themselves a few days to recoup, and could enjoy as much as five days off if the Nuggets …

Warriors need to prove they can beat Timberwolves without Stephen Curry

The Golden State Warriors will attempt to win without Stephen Curry for the first time this postseason and even their Western Conference second-round playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves when the clubs meet in Game 4 of the best-of-seven Monday night in San Francisco. HT Image The seventh-seeded Warriors won 99-88 on the road to open the series, but lost Curry to a strained left hamstring in the process. Minnesota, the sixth seed, has taken advantage in the two games since the injury, winning 117-93 at home and then 102-97 on Saturday night when the scene shifted to San Francisco. Curry already has been ruled out for Game 4 and is expected to be re-evaluated Tuesday with the hope of returning before the end of the series. The clubs have three days off between Game 5 on Wednesday in Minneapolis and Game 6 next Sunday in San Francisco, making the Golden State star more likely to reappear for the latter than the former. A Warriors win in either of the next two games assures that …

Anthony Edwards lifts Wolves to 2-1 lead vs. Warriors

Anthony Edwards poured in a game-high 36 points, Julius Randle had 24 as part of a triple-double and the Minnesota Timberwolves wrestled back home-court advantage in their second-round playoff series against the Golden State Warriors with a 102-97 triumph Saturday night in San Francisco. HT Image Game 4 in the Western Conference best-of-seven series is scheduled for Monday night in San Francisco, with the sixth-seeded Timberwolves leading 2-1.

The tightly contested game saw the Warriors clinging within 84-82 before two game-disqualifying fouls on defensive ace Draymond Green within 18 seconds inside the final five minutes. The Timberwolves took control from there, getting a key 3-pointer from Jaden McDaniels and a three-point play from Rudy Gobert, the latter creating a six-point cushion for the visitors with 2:05 to play. A 3-pointer by Edwards, his fifth of the game, all but clinched Minnesota’s second consecutive win – both with Curry out of …

Warriors’ Stephen Curry doesn’t have target date to return

May 09, 2025 12:03 AM IST BASKETBALL-NBA-GSW-CURRY Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry doesn’t have a timetable to return from the Grade 1 left hamstring strain he sustained in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinal series against the Minnesota Timberwolves. HT Image “No, this is new, and from all that I’m learning about how quickly you can get back, there has to be a healing process,” Curry told reporters on Thursday of a potential return date. “This is the way the body works and you can’t accelerate it more than what it’s telling you. “… After a week, we’ll re-evaluate it every day to understand just to think about playing, let alone how much you can push it.” The four-time NBA champion also applied the brakes as it relates to the temptation to rush back into action. “Eventually there will be conversations like that. But I’m not anywhere close to that,” Curry said. “I know how tricky hamstrings can be. They can fool you to think they’re healed even if you don’t feel anything.” …

Jimmy Butler joins Golden State Warriors as he chases first NBA title of career

Jimmy Butler completed his protracted breakup with the Miami Heat after securing a trade away from the Miami franchise to the Golden State Warriors where he will link up with Steph Curry as he chases first NBA title of career. “I would like to say that I am a winner. I haven’t won ‘it’ but I would like to call myself a winner. I do want to win ‘it’ — it being a championship,” Butler said late last night after he was introduced by the Warriors before their game at the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night. Butler forced his way out of Heat, by repeatedly confronting the franchise management. Before being traded right before the Trade Deadline, Butler earned himself three suspensions in January. He was also criticized by Heat president Pat Riley after last season. Story continues below this ad “I don’t got too many bad things to say about them,” Butler said striking a rare reconciliatory tone. “I don’t. They gave me opportunity. I felt like I did my job to the …

NBA: Golden State Warriors see drastic turn in performance, sit at tenth position in Western Conference | Basketball News

After the 2023-24 season that was designed to be forgotten for the Golden State Warriors, the shocking transfer of Klay Thompson seemed to have set them back another step. With doubts looming over how the team would eventually perform in the 2024-25 season after losing out on the playoffs in the previous season, Steph Curry and company’s first 15 games erased all those doubts. The Warriors, also nicknamed the Dubs, started the season strong after winning 12 games and losing just three in their first fifteen. The fans felt that this could be a comeback, and the Warriors would potentially reach the playoffs for the 38th time in their 76 year history. But things have drastically turned around as the Warriors now sit in the play-in spot at 10th after their loss against the Cleveland Cavaliers dropped their win percentage to 0.500. After their dominant run in the first phase of the tournament, the Dub Nation’s run now looks like a 16-16, and in the 12 games they played in December, they have won only …

FTX Collapse: 2022 NBA Champions Golden State Warriors Named in Class-Action Lawsuit Over FTX Partnership

NBA champions Golden State Warriors are now among the individuals and organizations involved in a recent string of class action lawsuits related to the FTX crash. Multiple reports reveal that the NBA team is now accused of misleading FTX customers about the safety and reliability of the cryptocurrency exchange. The development arrives after Warriors franchise star player Stephen Curry was named alongside other celebrities like Tom Brady and Larry David in a lawsuit alleging that high-profile US sports stars were involved in deceptive practices targeting investors who became victims of FTX’s collapse in the US. Elliott Lam, a Canadian citizen who lives in Hong Kong, filed a class-action lawsuit on Monday in San Francisco federal court for “thousands, if not millions” of people outside the US that trade cryptocurrency on FTX, according to a report by Reuters. FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried and Caroline Ellison, who headed Bankman-Fried’s Alameda Research trading firm, are also named as defendants in the lawsuit. In the lawsuit, Lam claims that FTX was “falsely representing” a “viable and safe way to …
