The Minnesota Timberwolves and Brooklyn Nets wore a t-shirt with a clear message when they warmed up.
Minnesota Timberwolves and Brooklyn Nets players observed a minute's silence ahead of Tuesday's NBA game after the killing of a black man in a police operation in the state of Minnesota. Before that, they wore a T-shirt that read “With freedom and justice for all” when they were warming up.
According to initial findings, a policewoman accidentally pulled her pistol instead of an electric baton during a traffic stop and shot a man.
The Timberwolves lost the game against the Nets with 97: 127. The Los Angeles Lakers ended their trip away with a win. The defending champion won in Charlotte at the Hornets of team owner Michael Jordan 101: 93 and thus four of the last seven games in a foreign hall. After their 34th win of the season, the Lakers can still count on a direct qualification for the play-offs.
There was bad news for the play-free Denver Nuggets, who have to do without their best builder Jamal Murray for the rest of the season. The 24-year-old Canadian suffered a cruciate ligament tear in his left knee in the 107: 116 defeat in San Francisco against the Golden State Warriors in the final minute of the game, an MRI scan on Tuesday revealed. The end of Murray is a bad damper for the title ambitions of the Nuggets.
