On Jan. 29, the Los Angeles Lakers held their first practice and media availability since Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna, and seven others tragically perished in a helicopter accident on Jan. 26.
“I want to start by personally and on behalf of the Lakers family, offering condolences to Vanessa Bryant and the entire Bryant family on the loss of Kobe and Gianna,” head coach Frank Vogel began.
“We are all deeply, deeply saddened by this unthinkable tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I also want to offer condolences to the families of the other victims that were lost in this tragedy.
