NBA Postpones Lakers and Clippers Games Due to Los Angeles Wildfires

The decision ensures emergency resources remain focused on firefighting efforts as wildfires devastate the region.

The NBA postponed two Saturday games: the Lakers vs. Spurs in Los Angeles and the Clippers vs. Hornets in Inglewood, citing ongoing wildfires in the area.
The league emphasized the postponements were made to avoid diverting resources from critical wildfire response efforts.
The NBA and the National Basketball Players Association pledged $1 million to relief organizations, including the American Red Cross and World Central Kitchen, for immediate assistance.
Thousands of residents, including Lakers coach JJ Redick, have lost their homes to the fires, with the Palisades Fire being the most destructive in Los Angeles history.
Future events at Crypto.com Arena and Intuit Dome remain scheduled, but the NBA has not announced makeup dates for the postponed games.
