The Lakers retired Bryant's Nos. 8 and 24 jerseys at halftime of their game against the Warriors on Dec. 18, 2017.
We were incredibly saddened and shocked to learn about the tragic passing of Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gianna, earlier today.
Our thoughts & prayers are with the Bryant family and Lakers organization. pic.twitter.com/JlQSGCPZQ3— Golden State Warriors (@warriors) January 26, 2020

The @NBA lost a great player. But more importantly, the world lost a brilliant human being. Kobe Bryant dazzled us with his play on the court, but we were all looking forward to how he was going to help change the world in his post-basketball career. My heart hurts for his family
