Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry adds his voice to the growing list of NBA personalities who sympathize with the people of Minneapolis in relation to the ongoing protests against the killing of civilians by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.
Warriors played the Minnesota Timberwolves back to back at the Target Center and several players got to see up close the streets filled with people shouting for justice over the killing Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
“I was glued to the TV when we weren’t playing,” Curry said before the Monday rematch.
“Just watching the coverage, understanding what was going on, trying to really get knowledgeable about it.”
“There’s a lot of change that needs to happen. When you’re here, you feel it. Hopefully, the community comes together, and the right decisions are made so there’s more of a peaceful environment here.”

It is unsure if Silver will heed Adams and other conservatives’ call about Curry. He is among the most important players in the league and the NBA is not the NFL.
