The Minnesota Twins, Wild and Timberwolves all postponed their games a day after the shooting of 20-year-old Daunte Wright following a traffic stop in a nearby suburb. Major League Baseball’s Twins were set to begin a four-game series against the Boston Red Sox on Monday afternoon at Target Field. The NBA’s Timberwolves called off their game on Monday night against the Brooklyn Nets, without immediately announcing when it would be rescheduled. “I think we all just figured it was the right thing to do,” Wild general manager Bill Guerin said. “Obviously a tough situation, sad situation, especially in this area, right?“ Red Sox manager Alex Cora said, extending “thoughts and prayers” to the Wright family.
