The National Basketball Association has told teams to be ready for the impact of a possible verdict this week in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for the death of George Floyd, including the possibility of games being postponed, ESPN reported Sunday.

The Minnesota Timberwolves and Brooklyn Nets postponed a game last week after the fatal police shooting of an unarmed Black man, Daunte Wright, during a traffic stop in Minnesota.

Days of playoff games were postponed last August after Jacob Blake was shot by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and left paralyzed from the waist down.
