The National Basketball Association’s Minnesota Timberwolves and the Major League Baseball’s Minnesota Twins were back in action Tuesday after they and the National Hockey League’s Minnesota Wild didn’t play their games a day earlier following the fatal police shooting of a Black man during a traffic stop Sunday in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota.

Both the Timberwolves and the Twins held a moment of silence before their games for 20-year-old Daunte Wright, and players on both the Timberwolves and their opponents the Brooklyn Nets wore black warmup shirts that read, “With liberty and justice for all,” with the last two words in all-caps. The Wild were off Tuesday.
