On Saturday, 37-year-old Alex Pretti was shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis. It’s the second killing of an American citizen by federal officers in Minnesota this month; on January 7 an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent shot and killed U.S. citizen Renee Good.
In recent days the NBA, players, and coaches have spoken out about the situation. The NBAPA released a statement over the weekend in support of the people of Minnesota. Stars such as Steph Curry, Donovan Mitchell, Anthony Edwards and Karl Anthony-Towns have weighed in, expressing their consternation at what’s happening in this country. On Tuesday, the Spurs’ international superstar, Victor Wembanyama, joined them.
