Prior to Thursday night’s game against Charlotte, the Wizards paid tribute to the lives of Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna and the seven other victims of Sunday’s tragic helicopter accident. During pregame warmups, Wizards players wore #8 and #24 jerseys with “Bryant” across the back while coaches along the bench, as well as Ted and Zach Leonsis, all wore variations of Bryant’s signature Nike shoe.

The jerseys will be signed and sold for auction at a later date with the proceeds benefitting the MambaOnThree Fund, which was created to help support the families affected by Sunday’s tragedy.
