The NBA has reportedly told teams to be prepared for the potential impact of a verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial this week, which may include the possibility of postponing games, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
On Monday, closing arguments will be heard in the Chauvin trial in Minneapolis. The former Minneapolis police officer faces charges of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in the death of George Floyd on May 25, when Chauvin kneeled on Floyd's neck and back for more than nine minutes.
Last week, the NBA postponed the Timberwolves' game against the Nets by a day after police shot and killed a 20-year-old Black motorist, Daunte Wright, in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Center on April 11.
