Warriors' Steve Kerr voices support for Minneapolis amid ICE occupation, protests
""I love the city of Minneapolis, and people here are wonderful. And it's very sad, what's happening, and I feel for the city, Kerr said. There's a pall that has been cast over the city. You can feel it, and a lot of people are suffering. Obviously, loss of life is the No. 1 concern. Those families will never get their family members back. And you know, when all the unrest settles down, whenever that is, those family members won't be returning home, and that's devastating.""
""I told Chris and Joe, We trust you guys. We trust the league, whatever makes the most sense,' Kerr said. So ultimately, obviously, the game was postponed. I totally agree with the decision. Everything should be about safety and concern for not only the players and the fans, but everybody here in Minneapolis with what's going on.""
Thousands marched through downtown Minneapolis demanding an end to a federal immigration crackdown after a federal immigration agent shot and killed Alex Pretti amid nearby protests. The shooting occurred a few miles from Target Center and prompted the postponement of a scheduled Warriors-Wolves game. Steve Kerr expressed sorrow for Minneapolis residents and emphasized loss of life as the primary concern, noting families will never get loved ones back. Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy alerted Kerr that the league was considering postponement, and Wolves personnel reported players feeling uneasy. The NBA postponed the game under three hours before tipoff, prioritizing safety for players, fans, and the community.
