“#NBA preparing to postpone game<\/a>s after impending Derek Chauvin verdict<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The NBA is preparing for the possibility of postponing games after instructing teams to be \u201cvigilant about the impact\u201d of a potential verdict this week in the Derek Chauvin trial in Minneapolis, ESPN reported<\/a> Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe looming specter of possible protests, civil unrest and team reactions in the aftermath of a verdict has the league office preparing for the prospect that a night or two of league games could be postponed this week,\u201d the report stated, citing sources.<\/p>\n

Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer, is facing charges of second-degree and third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in the death of George Floyd in May 2020. Chauvin, who pleaded not guilty to the charges, was shown on video pressing his knee on Floyd\u2019s neck for more than nine minutes. Final arguments in the case are expected to be made Monday.<\/p>\n

The NBA postponed a game last week between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Brooklyn Nets after unarmed 20-year-old Daunte Wright was shot by police during a traffic stop in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Center. The T-Wolves began a four-game road trip<\/a> on Sunday against the Clippers in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Following an initial boycott of a playoff game by the Milwaukee Bucks, the NBA also had postponed three days of games in the Orlando bubble last August after another unarmed Black man, Jacob Blake, was shot by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The WNBA also postponed games at that time.<\/p>\n
