ESPN will rebroadcast Kobe Bryant’s final NBA game tonight at 8 p.m.

Bryant closed his playing career with an exclamation point, scoring 60 points against the Utah Jazz at Staples Center in Los Angeles on April 13, 2016.

Bryant and eight other people, including his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, died Sunday in a helicopter crash.

He spent his entire career with the Lakers, winning five NBA championships.

The previously scheduled game between Kansas and Oklahoma State will move to ESPN2.
