Today’s game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers at Staples Center has been postponed in the wake of the death of Kobe Bryant, the NBA announced yesterday.
The NBA said the contest will be rescheduled at a later date.
The league said the decision was “made out of respect for the Lakers organization,” which is grieving the death of the 41-year-old Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, as well as the seven other people who perished in Sunday’s helicopter crash in Calabasas, Calif.
