Celtics tweak L.A. itinerary to allow players to attend Kobe Bryant memorial

Kobe Bryant's death deeply affected several members of the Boston Celtics. Thanks to some advance planning, they'll be able to pay their respects to the Los Angeles Lakers legend if they wish. The Celtics, who play the Lakers on Feb. 23, have moved their midday flight out of Los Angeles on Feb. 24 to later in the afternoon to accommodate any players or staffers who want to attend Bryant's memorial service, per The Boston Globe's Adam Himmelsbach.
