San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama on Tuesday articulated his thoughts on a pair of fatal shootings by federal agents in Minnesota, saying in part that he is "horrified."
The shootings of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, and Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, occurred during a widespread immigration enforcement operation recently in Minneapolis, leading to protests in freezing temperatures and heightened tensions between citizens and law enforcement throughout the city.
Wembanyama, asked by reporters about the unrest, expressed some reticence to speak out because he is not a United States citizen and acknowledged he was doing so against the advice of the team's public relations staff.
