Twins, Timberwolves Postponed Games Rescheduled

SOUTHWEST MINNEAPOLIS, MN— Both the Minnesota Twins and Minnesota Timberwolves have rescheduled their Monday night games for later in the week after postponing them following the fatal shooting of Daunte Wright in Brooklyn Center.

The Timberwolves announced their Monday night game would be rescheduled for Tuesday. The game will be played at 3 p.m. at Target Center with no fans present, the team said.

The game will be broadcast on Bally Sports North Plus, WCCO-2 on the Audacy app, 102.9-3 (KMNB HD3), and the Timberwolves app, the team said.

The Twins announced that Monday's postponed game would be played on Wednesday, and Tuesday's game would still be played. Fans who had tickets to Wednesday's scheduled game will be permitted to watch both Wednesday games, the team said.

Both Wednesday games will be seven innings, the team said.

Additionally, the Minnesota Wild postponed their Monday night game and rescheduled it for May 12.

These decisions came in the wake of the shooting of Daunte Wright by an officer in Brooklyn Center.

The three teams all said they made the decisions out of respect for Wright and his family.

Since the shooting, there has been civil unrest in Brooklyn Center.

The Brooklyn Center police chief said Monday that he believed the officer who shot Wright meant to tase him, but accidentally pulled out her gun and shot him instead.
