The 

Lakers-Clippers game that was postponed from Jan. 28 has been rescheduled on April 9, the league announced Friday. The game will be televised on TNT.

As a result of the rescheduled game, three other games were also moved:

• The Warriors-Lakers game originally scheduled for Thu., April 9 will be played on Tue., April 7.
• The Bulls-Lakers game originally scheduled for Tue., April 7 will be played on Wed., April 8.

The NBA postponed the initial Lakers-Clippers game in the wake of Kobe Bryant's death. 

"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 league in a statement at the time.

Just days before the teams were first scheduled to meet, Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna were among nine people who died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, Calif.

As a result of the Lakers-Clippers game now being played on April 9, the Lakers will play on three consecutive nights, though each game will be played at Staples Center.

The 41-12 Lakers come out of the All-Star break on Friday night when they host the Grizzlies. The 37-18 Clippers play their first game after the All-Star break on Saturday when they host the Clippers.
