The Los Angeles Lakers are set to return to the court on Monday night, hosting the San Antonio Spurs, after having their last two games postponed due to the Southern California wildfires.
The Lakers are hosting a donation drive to support the victims, although Monday’s game will also be about franchise legend Michael Cooper as well as his No. 21 jersey will be going up into the rafters.
There was some talk about potentially postponing the ceremony given the uncertainty surrounding the fires, but the Lakers announced they will indeed be retiring Cooper’s jersey in a ceremony at halftime of Monday’s game:
A five-time NBA Champion, Hall of Famer, and Lakers legend.
