In a statement following an NBA Board of Governors meeting, the league said games could resume as early as Friday.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers have voted to end the season at an emergency meeting of all the teams left in the NBA's playoffs.

Four months after the league shut down in March due to the coronavirus pandemic, the NBA restarted its season with 22 teams based inside a secure "bubble" at Disney World in Orlando, Florida.

NBA player Lou Williams is being investigated by the league for allegedly visiting a strip club after he left the Disney World coronavirus bubble to attend a funeral, US media reported.

The NBA game against Los Angeles Clippers, which was to be the first match on the Lakers' home court since Kobe Bryant died, will be rescheduled for a later date.

Steve Ballmer said he was "humbled and honored" after the transaction was sealed when a California court order went into effect confirming that Shelly Sterling had the authority to sell the team.

Former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling's attorney Max Blecher said after the ruling was read that he was "deeply disappointed." Sterling was barred from the National Basketball Association for life recently for making racist remarks.

The win moved the Spurs into equal second in the Western Conference standings, behind new leader Oklahoma City, which got a super performance from Kevin Durant in its comeback win over Minnesota and moved above Portland, which was narrowly beaten at home by Philadelphia.

J.J. Redick scored 19 points and Blake Griffin had 15 points and 12 rebounds in the Pacific Division-leading Clippers' seventh win in nine games.

Marc Gasol had 23 points, nine rebounds and eight assists to help put the Grizzlies (6-5) over .500 for the first time this season. Mike Conley scored eight of his 15 points during a 4-minute span of the fourth quarter.

Among other games, Philadelphia's Tony Wroten led the Sixers to an overtime win over Houston, Minnesota had a comfortable win over Cleveland, and Tony Parker guided San Antonio to victory over Washington.

All Star point guard Chris Paul will stay with Los Angeles Clippers under a new five-year contract reportedly worth 107 million dollars.

The Los Angeles Lakers secured an NBA playoff spot even before taking to the court on Wednesday, then needed overtime of their own game to learn where they were seeded.

The Los Angeles Clippers trounced the Portland Trail Blazers 93-77 on Tuesday for their sixth straight victory, on a night that saw the Celtics-Indiana Pacers game in Boston cancelled in the wake of Monday's deadly bombings at the Boston Marathon.

The Los Angeles Clippers shot 77 percent and scored 46 points in the first quarter, then lost their killer instinct but still led all the way in earning their third straight NBA victory, 106-96 over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday.

The Boston Celtics held off a late Los Angeles challenge to edge the Clippers 106-104 in the NBA on Sunday, improving to a 4-0 record since losing Rajon Rondo to a season-ending knee injury.
