NBA Stars Playing at Mira Costa

The professional basketball players are donating their time and talent to raise money for the high school's athletic programs by playing in an on-campus tournament..

The action inside Mira Costa High's Fisher Gym last night was professional, but that also meant the 6 p.m. start time was delayed about an hour.

But that's what happens when you're dealing with about 25 NBA athletes who are donating their time to raise funds for the school's athletic programs by playing in a three-day, four-team exhibition tournament.

Today's games have 12 and 1:30 p.m. start times; Sunday's games have 3 and 5 p.m. game times, and Sundya's times could be changed.
