POSTPONED
The NBA postponed Tuesday’s game between the Lakers and Clippers “out of respect for the Lakers organization, which is deeply grieving the tragic loss of Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna and seven other people in a helicopter crash on Sunday,” the league said in a statement Monday. The game will be rescheduled. Bryant spent his 20-year career with the Lakers and developed friendships on the basketball and business sides. Owner Jeanie Buss was always close with Bryant, and Lakers GM Rob Pelinka is one of Bryant’s close friends and was his agent.
