Lakers-Clippers game postponed

The NBA has postponed the Los Angeles Lakers' next game against the Clippers on Tuesday night after the deaths of retired superstar Kobe Bryant, his daughter and seven others in a helicopter crash.

The league announced the decision in a statement Monday, saying it “was made out of respect for the Lakers organization.”

Bryant's helicopter crashed Sunday, and the Lakers learned about it while flying home from an East Coast road trip.

“The Los Angeles Lake rs would like to thank all of you for the tremendous outpouring of support and condolences,” the Lakers organization said in a statement after the postponement was announced. “This is a very difficult time for all of us.”

The 16-time NBA champion franchise made grief counselors available to employees Monday after the loss of Bryant, who spent his entire 20-year NBA career with the Lakers.

The NBA says the game between the Los Angeles rivals will be rescheduled later. The next game on the Lake rs' schedule is Friday night at home against Portland.
