The NBA has postponed Tuesday’s game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers in the aftermath of Kobe Bryant’s death.
The league announced the news in a statement Monday afternoon. The game will be rescheduled for a later date.
“The decision was made 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 statement reads.
The decision comes a day after the NBA played its regularly scheduled Sunday games amid the immediate news of Bryant’s death as some called for the league to postpone them.
