The NBA game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Charlotte Hornets set for Thursday night has been postponed due to the ongoing wildfires.
The league said that the game at Crypto.com Arena in L.A. would be rescheduled at a later date.
"The entire NBA family sends its thoughts and support to the community of Los Angeles during this time," the NBA said in a statement. "We are grateful for the thousands of local firefighters and first responders who have demonstrated enormous bravery. Our prayers remain with those affected by the unimaginable devastation caused by the wildfires."
Shams Charania of ESPN reported that Lakers head coach J.J. Redick lost his home in the fires. Several others from the NBA world have been impacted, with Warriors head coach Steve Kerr's mother being evacuated from his childhood home and Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard stepping away from the team to help his family.
