Lakers to honor Americans who thwarted train terrorist attack in France

During Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons at Staples Center, the Los Angeles Lakers will honor three Americans who in August thwarted a terrorist attack aboard a passenger train heading from Amsterdam to Paris.

Spencer Stone, Alek Skarlatos and Anthony Sadler, who tackled and subdued a gunman on the high-speed train that was less than an hour away from Paris, will attend the game and be introduced during a brief on-court pre-game ceremony, according to the Lakers. They will also meet with team president and co-owner Jeanie Buss.

Sadler, a college student in Sacramento, was wearing a Lakers shirt during the heroic act.
