CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (Ticker) -- Tonight's game between the New York Knicks and the Charlotte Hornets has been postponed due to the death of Hornets guard Bobby Phills.

The game was not immediately rescheduled.

According to a statement released Thursday by NBA Players Association executive director Billy Hunter, members of the Hornets would rather not play the game, which is scheduled to start less than six hours after a memorial service for Phills.

Phills, 30, was killed instantly Wednesday when he slammed his Porsche into another vehicle after leaving a shootaround at the Charlotte Coliseum. Wednesday's home game against the Chicago Bulls was postponed. Saturday's road contest at New York is still scheduled.
