According to the Lakers twitter, Lakers' guard Wayne Ellington will not play tonight and will be on an indefinite leave of absence due to the death of his father. Ellington's father was shot and killed on Sunday. This is very tragic and my thought and prayers go out to him and his family. Ellington was playing quite solidly in this season so far. It is a shame that he has to go through this. This is sad news for the Lakers team, organization, as well as fans. We are all supporting Ellington throughout this tragic experience
