The NBA announced Tuesday morning that Monday's Nets-Timberwolves game, originally postponed Monday due to the shooting of Daunte Wright, has been rescheduled for Tuesday afternoon.
The game will tip off at 4 p.m. eastern at the Target Center.
"After consulting with both teams as well as local and state officials, the decision was made to reschedule the game today," the statement read.
Monday's game and the Twins-Red Sox game in Minnesota were both postponed Monday after Wright was shot and killed by police on Sunday, leading to protests coupled with the nearby ongoing trial of Derek Chauvin, the former police officer on trial for the death of George Floyd.
Brooklyn will now have a back-to-back, traveling to face the 76ers on Wednesday, the team's biggest competition in the Eastern Conference.
The game can be heard on WFAN-AM.
