It turns out the Los Angeles Lakers won't be back in black.
The Lakers clinched a trip to Las Vegas and a spot in the semifinals of the NBA's inaugural in-season tournament with a 106-103 win over the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday while wearing their black alternative "city edition" uniforms.
The jersey set aesthetic has been a hit with the players, and L.A. is undefeated in the black uniforms so far, all during in-season tournament play. The Lakers went 3-0 in two group-play games against the Memphis Grizzlies and Utah Jazz, plus the quarterfinals win over the Suns, donning the dark colors.
