Spurs and Magic pay tribute to Dante Wright before game

Spurs and Magic pay tribute to Dante Wright before game. The Spurs and Magic paid tribute to Dante Wright, who was killed by police in a Minneapolis suburb on Sunday, before Monday’s game. Players from both teams formed a circle in the center of the court during the national anthem, clasping their hands. A 20-year-old African-American man was shot in his own car when he tried to escape from police officers who stopped him because of a traffic violation. According to the police, the employee at the arrest of Wright wanted to use an electric shock device, but made a mistake and fired a firearm. The NBA, in connection with the incident, decided to postpone the match between Minnesota and Brooklyn, which was scheduled for Monday. #dantewright #dauntewrightshooting #spursvsmagic
