Lakers G Wayne Ellington has been granted indefinite leave.

His dad was shot and killed in Philadelphia on Sunday. RIP.

Damn that's sad. RIP.

I hope they catch who did it.

Mods on their job

Something like this can really put your life into perspective. Ellington plays a sport at a professional level for the most well known team in the world earning millions of dollars, but I bet he'd trade it for his dad's life.

And not to sound like a dick but where does this leave the Lakers? Is he classed as inactive?

Also, to answer the question posed about his situation with the Lakers, I read earlier that the team has granted him time away from the team indefinitely.
