This sent a shock through the NBA community. The LA Clippers had their regular season game against the Memphis Grizzlies and before the game the team played a tribute video remembering the important legacy Nipsey left behind. The locker-room was tense after the game in mourning, showing just how much he meant to those who knew him.
The Clippers honored Nipsey Hussle, who was killed today in LA, with a tribute before tipoff against Memphis.
