The NBA world continues to mourn the deaths of Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna Bryant, and seven others.
The Lakers already had to have a game postponed, rescheduling their Jan. 28 contest against Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers. The Lakers will now play their first game since the tragedy on Jan. 31 against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Leonard is one of those who was especially affected by the shocking helicopter crash as not only did he lose someone he looked up to in Bryant, but he also lost his pilot.
