THE NBA has postponed another Golden State Warriors game in the aftermath of assistant coach Dejan Milojevic's tragic death.
The clash between the Dubs and Dallas Mavericks won't take place on Friday night as scheduled, forcing ESPN to make a programming change.
In place of the Mavericks-Warriors game, ESPN will air the matchup between the Brooklyn Nets and Los Angeles Lakers, the network announced Thursday.
The contest starts at 10:30 pm ET, half an hour later than Golden State's home clash against Dallas was scheduled to begin.
NBA Countdown will air until the Lakers and Nets come out for tip-off.
The Malika Andrews-hosted show will commence the broadcast of ESPN's Friday doubleheader at 7 pm.

"I told my guys I loved them," Rajakovic said after the game.
"Our opening was an ATO that — Deki [Milojević's nickname], my friend, I learned that play from him.
"That's what he brought to the NBA. That's what he brought to Golden State.
"I stole that play from him, and that was our opening play tonight and we were able to score on it once."
Rajakovic then dedicated the win to Milojevic.
