LOS ANGELES -- Ralph Lawler is calling his final regular season game for the Los Angeles Clippers.
The newly named Hall of Fame broadcaster is being joined by friend and former on-air partner Bill Walton for the Clippers' game against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night at Staples Center.
Lawler, who turns 81 on April 21, plans to end his 40-year career whenever the Clippers are eliminated from the playoffs, which begin this weekend.
The team plans a halftime ceremony for Lawler. They unveiled an on-court logo honoring him, and the players are wearing special shooting shirts thanking Lawler for his years of service.
