在2025年12月31日星期三于圣安东尼奥举行的一场NBA比赛下半场，圣安东尼奥马刺队后卫德阿隆·福克斯（4号）向裁判肖恩·莱特（4号）质疑判罚。马刺队以134-132击败尼克斯队。
周日，在国家篮球运动员协会（NBPA）发表声明，称联邦官员致命枪击一名37岁男子后，NBA球员“不能再保持沉默”之后，德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 和马刺队其他成员对明尼阿波利斯的骚乱做出了回应。
周六，在1月7日发生的枪击案引发广泛抗议的背景下，联邦官员击毙了重症监护室护士亚历克斯·普雷蒂 (Alex Pretti)。而在1月7日的事件中，37岁的蕾妮·古德 (Renee Good) 在与一群执法人员发生对峙后驾车离开时，一名移民与海关执法局（ICE）官员向其车辆开枪，导致她身亡。
特朗普政府官员将普雷蒂描绘成事件的挑起者，称他“持械接近”移民官员，意图挑起暴力。该事件发生地距离ICE探员击毙古德的地点约一英里。但视频显示，普雷蒂手中只拿着一部手机，并非警方称他合法持有、且探员在他被按倒在地后才发现的手枪。
据《明尼苏达星论坛报》报道，目击者描述称，在致命冲突发生前的片刻，普雷蒂正在观察联邦执法人员并协助疏导交通。
在马刺队于冰霜银行中心以95-104不敌新奥尔良鹈鹕队的比赛后，福克斯在接受记者采访时，质问为何在联邦官员击毙普雷蒂后没有立即展开调查。
“我们这里有‘就地防卫法’，对吧？”福克斯说。“我不知道，你们中间有多少人有枪？我有枪。我们都知道‘KJ’（马刺队的凯尔登·约翰逊）有枪。但想象一下，有人闯进你家，你从背后开枪击中了他，对吧？他可能已经没有威胁了。然后你心想，啊，（脏话），干脆把整个弹匣都打空……但你至少会因此被起诉，并必须走完整个司法程序。所以这有点疯狂，对吧？如果我从背后开枪击中某人，他倒下了。即便这是在我自己家里，即便我是在保护我的财产，然后我决定要打空整个弹匣，我还是会被起诉。这就是滥用武力和其他类似问题的范畴了。”
包括一些共和党人在内的国会领导人也在周日呼吁进行调查。随后，联邦调查局（FBI）局长卡什·帕特尔 (Kash Patel) 告诉福克斯新闻，ICE下属的国土安全调查处正在牵头对普雷蒂被致命枪击一案进行联邦调查。
在球员工会表示支持抗议者呼吁特朗普政府停止在该市大规模移民执法行动后，一名记者向福克斯询问了明尼阿波利斯的紧张局势。
“在明尼阿波利斯——这座一直处于反抗不公斗争最前沿的城市——又传来一起致命枪击案的消息之后，NBA球员不能再保持沉默，”NBPA表示。“现在，我们比以往任何时候都更必须捍卫言论自由的权利，并与明尼苏达州那些正在抗议、冒着生命危险要求正义的人们站在一起。NBA球员大家庭，就像美国本身一样，是一个因其全球公民而丰富的社区，我们拒绝让分裂的火焰威胁到那些本应保护我们所有人的公民自由。”
马刺队前锋朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 对工会的声明表示赞同，称他“与那些人站在一起”，并谴责了困扰该市的暴力事件。
“那边以及全美各地发生的暴力事件，都是一种不幸的状况，”作为球队候补球员工会代表的尚帕尼说。“我不太深入谈论政治之类的事情，我不是这方面的专家，但我认为不应该有人死去。这基本上就是我的立场，我与那些人站在一起。关于这件事我能说的就这么多了。这整个局势都很艰难，但我认为暴力是必须停止的首要问题。”
NBPA是在联盟周六下午推迟了明尼苏达森林狼队与金州勇士队在明尼阿波利斯的比赛并将其改期至周日后发表的这份声明。
“他们的团队正在承受痛苦，”勇士队教练史蒂夫·科尔 (Steve Kerr) 在他的球队以111-85取胜后谈到森林狼队时说。“看台上的氛围，这是我参与过的最诡异、最悲伤的比赛之一。你能感受到那种沉重的气氛。他们的球队，你能看出来他们正为所发生的一切以及这座城市所经历的一切而挣扎。”
联盟表示，由于普雷蒂在距离森林狼队主场——市中心的标靶中心不到两英里的商业区被杀，推迟比赛是为了“优先考虑明尼阿波利斯社区的安全与保障”。
NBPA也向“亚历克斯·普雷蒂和蕾妮·古德的家人致以最深切的哀悼，同时我们的思绪也持续关注着我们社区所有成员的安全与福祉。”
NBPA的九人执行委员会成员包括波士顿的杰伦·布朗 (Jaylen Brown)、纽约的卡尔-安东尼·唐斯 (Karl-Anthony Towns)、休斯顿的弗雷德·范弗利特 (Fred VanVleet) 和孟菲斯的小贾伦·杰克逊 (Jaren Jackson Jr.) 等球星。
马刺队教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 称明尼阿波利斯的暴力事件是“一个非常不幸的状况”。
“任何时候，当暴力发生，或者感觉像是出现了可能不必要、无端、无故或双方都不希望的攻击性互动时，都是不幸的，”约翰逊说。“我可能没有足够的了解来提供更多细节。但我真的很难过看到这一切，并且显然在为那里的每个人以及所有地方的人祈祷。这是一个艰难的时期。”
约翰逊表示，他还没有就明尼阿波利斯的局势与球员们进行过交流。鹈鹕队教练、前马刺队助理教练詹姆斯·博雷戈 (James Borrego) 表示，他计划在“与我们的球员内部”讨论后，再就此事公开发表更多看法。
“但我们的祈祷和思念与明尼苏达的每一个人同在，”博雷戈说。“显然，这对我们整个国家来说都是一个困难时期，只希望此刻每个人都能平安。”
尚帕尼表示，他同意NBA推迟周六在明尼阿波利斯比赛的决定。
“这很艰难，”他说。“我们有工作要做，必须上场比赛，一场比赛被取消会打乱接下来的赛程。但我认为，在这种特殊情况下，这样做是必要的，为了表明立场，为了证明一个观点，为了让信息传递出去。因为当那样的事情发生，而且是无端的或者本不该发生的时候，如果我们还在同一个城市打比赛，可能会让一些人、一些球迷、一些抗议者或受害者家属感觉像是一记耳光。”
“所以我认为联盟这样处理是重要的。这展现出了一种延伸的支持。”

Spurs players, coach react to Minneapolis deaths, unrest
San Antonio Spurs guard De’Aaron Fox (4) questions a call with referee Sean Wright (4) during the second half of an NBA game with the New York Knicks in San Antonio, Wednesday, Dec. 31, 2025. The Spurs beat the Knicks 134-132.
De’Aaron Fox and other members of the Spurs reacted Sunday to the unrest in Minneapolis after the National Basketball Players Association issued a statement saying NBA players can “no longer remain silent” following the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old man by federal officers.
The officers killed Alex Pretti, an intensive care unit nurse on Saturday, amid widespread protests after the Jan. 7 shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good, who was killed when an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fired into her vehicle as she drove away from a group of officers following a confrontation.
Trump administration officials cast Pretti as the instigator in the incident that occurred about a mile away from where the ICE agent killed Good, saying he “approached” immigration officers with a weapon intent on provoking violence. But in videos, Pretti holds only a phone, not the handgun police said he was licensed to carry and that agents discovered after they wrestled him to the ground.
Witness accounts described Pretti observing federal law enforcement and helping with traffic in the moments leading up to the deadly altercation, the Minnesota Star Tribune reported.
Speaking to reporters after the Spurs’ 104-95 loss to New Orleans at the Frost Bank Center, Fox questioned why an investigation wasn’t launched immediately after the officers killed Pretti.
“We have a stand your ground law here, right?” Fox said. “I don’t know, how many of you all own guns? I own guns. We all know ‘KJ’ (the Spurs’ Keldon Johnson) owns guns. But imagine someone breaks into your house and you shoot 'em in the back, right? Probably neutralized. Then you’re like, ah, (expletive), let’s empty the entire clip. … But you would at least be charged and have to go through that process. So that’s a bit crazy, right? I’d be charged if I shot someone in the back, they fall. And then even if it’s in my house, even if I’m protecting my property and then I decide I want to empty the entire clip. That’s where you get to excessive force and all these other things.”
Congressional leaders, including some Republicans, also called for a probe Sunday before FBI Director Kash Patel told Fox News that ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations branch is leading a federal investigation into the fatal shooting of Pretti.
A reporter asked Fox about the tension in Minneapolis after the players union said it supported protesters calling for the Trump administration to end its massive immigration enforcement operation in the city.
“Following the news of yet another fatal shooting in Minneapolis, a city that has been on the forefront of the fight against injustices, NBA players can no longer remain silent,” the NBPA said. “Now more than ever, we must defend the right to freedom of speech and stand in solidarity with the people in Minnesota protesting and risking their lives to demand justice. The fraternity of NBA players, like the United States itself, is a community enriched by its global citizens, and we refuse to let the flames of division threaten the civil liberties that are meant to protect us all.”
Echoing the statement from the union, Spurs forward Julian Champagnie said he “stands with those people” in Minneapolis and decried the violence plaguing the city.
“It is an unfortunate situation that’s going on over there and across the whole states with the violence,” said Champagnie, the team’s alternate union representative. “I don’t really get too much into politics and stuff. I’m not the biggest guy with that, but I don’t think that people should be dying. That’s kind of where I stand with it, and I stand with those people. That’s really all I have to say about it. It’s just a tough situation all around, but I think the violence is the main thing that has to stop.”
The NBPA issued its statement after the league postponed the game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors on Saturday afternoon in Minneapolis and rescheduled it for Sunday.
“Their group was suffering," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said of the Timberwolves after his team’s 111-85 victory. "The vibe in the stands, it was one of the most bizarre, sad games I’ve ever been a part of. You could feel the somber atmosphere. Their team, you could tell they were struggling with everything that’s been going on and what the city has been through.”
The league said it postponed the game to “prioritize the safety and security of the Minneapolis community” after Pretti was killed in a commercial district less than two miles from Target Center, the downtown arena where the Timberwolves play.
The NBPA also extended its “deepest condolences to the families of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, just as our thoughts remain focused on the safety and well-being of all members of our community.”
The NBPA’s nine-member executive committee include such stars as Boston’s Jaylen Brown, New York’s Karl-Anthony Towns, Houston’s Fred VanVleet and Memphis’ Jaren Jackson Jr.
Spurs coach Mitch Johnson called the violence in Minneapolis a “very unfortunate situation.”
“Anytime there’s violence that occurs or it feels like aggressive interaction that may be unnecessary, unwarranted or unprovoked or unwanted on either side of two people or groups of people (it) is unfortunate,” Johnson said. “And I probably am not educated enough to give too much more detail into that. But I’m really sad to see (it) and obviously praying for everybody up there and all around. It’s a tough time.”
Johnson said he has not talked to the players about the situation in Minneapolis. Pelicans coach James Borrego, a former Spurs assistant coach, said he plans to talk more about it publicly after a discussion “with our guys internally.”
“But our prayers and thoughts are with everybody out in Minnesota,” Borrego said. “Obviously, a difficult time for our country as a whole and just pray for everybody’s safety at this time.”
Champagnie said he agreed with the NBA’s decision to postpone Saturday’s game in Minneapolis.
“It’s tough,” he said. "We have a job to do and we have to go out there and play, and a game gets canceled and it kind of messes with the rest of the schedule. But I think in this particular case stuff like that is necessary to make a stand, to prove a point, to have that message go across. Because when stuff like that happens and it’s not warranted or it shouldn’t be happening, and if we’re out there playing a game in that same city, it might feel like a slap in the face to some people or to some of the fans or some of the protestors or the families.
“So I think it’s important that that was the way that the league handled it. I think it just shows a little extended support.”
