The NBA plans to resume its schedule on Monday after postponing games due to the devastating wildfires in the Los Angeles area. The Lakers are set to host the San Antonio Spurs, while the Clippers will welcome the Miami Heat at their respective venues. The league had previously postponed games involving the Spurs and the Hornets, which will be rescheduled later.
In response to the crisis, the NBA announced a $1 million donation to help organizations like the American Red Cross and World Central Kitchen. The Palisades Fire has been catastrophic, claiming over 5,600 structures and resulting in at least 16 fatalities.
Spurs guard Chris Paul, a local resident, expressed deep concern for the affected community and shared his own family's evacuation experience. Meanwhile, Lakers coach JJ Redick revealed that he lost his home to the flames. As teams navigate this tragedy, the league continues to show solidarity with those impacted.
