Remembering Kobe Roundup: Pistons Introduced Wearing Jerseys With Bryant's Numbers

The death of Kobe Bryant produced a wave of tributes during Monday night's slate of games.

Ahead of the Detroit Pistons' Monday night matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Pistons warmed up wearing jerseys with the Nos. 8 and 24, and the name "Bryant" displayed on the back.

The jerseys were the first of Monday's on-court tributes to Kobe Bryant, who died Sunday at age 41 in a helicopter crash. Bryant's 13-year-old daughter Gianna was also among the nine victims who were killed. 

During Sunday's on-court action, players wrote messages on their sneakers paying tribute to Bryant. Arenas held moments of silence and teams opened with intentional 24-second and 8-second violations as a further gesture.

The Pistons and Cavaliers exchanged time violations to open their Monday night contest. 

Here's a list of the other Bryant-related tributes from Monday night's NBA action:

#Timberwolves begin game taking an 8-second backcourt violation.

Kings then take a 24-second shot clock violation, and leave the ball on the free throw line in the exact spot Kobe Bryant passed Michael Jordan for 3rd on the all-time NBA scoring list. pic.twitter.com/ob7GNKjKvz
