The Sacramento Kings announced the team would close the Golden 1 Center plaza to everyone but ticketed guests and employees Monday in anticipation of possible protests at tonight’s game with the New York Knicks.
The announcement follows a relatively calm weekend of protests after District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert announced Saturday she wouldn’t file charges against the two police officers who killed Stephon Clark.
“Today, the plaza will close in the early afternoon and will only re-open to ticketed guests to ensure safe entry into the arena for the game tonight,” the Kings said in a statement released Monday morning.
