The Minnesota Timberwolves are following in the footsteps of the Twins, which canceled their game against the Boston Red Sox on Monday "out of respect" following the police shooting of Daunte Wright on Sunday.

According to The Athletic's Shams Charania, Monday's Timberwolves game against the Brooklyn Nets has been postponed.
