The Lakers were scheduled to play the Raptors on December 13th at Staples Center, but the NBA has allowed the venue to vacate its commitment to schedule an extra date of the Jay-Z and Kanye West tour.
According to a statement from the NBA: “With the cancellation of the first two weeks of the season, the NBA schedule would have to be reworked and certain dates — including Dec. 13 for a Lakers game at Staples Center — would not be part of any revised schedule.”
The NBA did the same thing to accomodate an extra show for Jay-Z and Kanye at United Center.
