After Saturday’s game between the Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves was postponed due to a fatal shooting at the hands of a federal officer in Minnesota, television host and former NBA MVP Charles Barkley offered his thoughts live on Inside the NBA, saying people need to ‘step up and be adults.’
Barkley called the situation ‘sad’ and ‘scary,’ and said that ‘two people have died for no reason.’
That was in reference to Saturday’s shooting as well as that of Renee Good, who was shot by a federal ICE agent in Minneapolis on Jan. 7.
Barkley expressed that things are ‘going to end badly. It’s already ended badly twice.’

Per the NBA, the Warriors-Timberwolves game that was scheduled for Saturday will now be played on Sunday, Jan. 25 at 5:30 p.m. ET at Target Center in Minneapolis.
The announcement notes that this decision was made in order to ‘prioritize the safety and security of the Minneapolis community.’
