This is probably the correct move. There had been some whispers that the games were going to get postponed Sunday night, but that didn’t happen.

The players, fans, coaches and everybody else associated with the league are struggling right now. Kobe Bryant was a giant in the sport, and his life was cut tragically short.
It’s a heartbreaking situation, and the Lakers especially need some time to process what has happened. I don’t blame Silver one bit for postponing the Tuesday night game.
