Wayne Ellington missed his late father while helping Lakers beat 76ers
Posted Mar 31, 2015
Wayne Ellington used to look into the crowd when he played an occasional road game here. His father would always be in attendance. Always. But Wayne Ellington Sr. wasn't there Monday, a sad fact of life still being grasped by his son. Ellington Sr. was shot and killed while sitting in a car last November in Philadelphia.
