Wildfires Pause NBA Games: Helping Hands in LA

When wildfires hit Southern California, the NBA had to press pause on some big games. The Lakers and Clippers had two Saturday matches postponed: Lakers vs. Spurs at Crypto. com Arena and Clippers vs. Hornets at Intuit Dome. The league wants to make sure no emergency resources are taken away from fighting the fires. The NBA and the players' union are donating $1 million to help those affected by the fires. They're working together to figure out how to support long-term help and rebuilding efforts.

Earlier this week, Lakers coach JJ Redick lost his home in the Palisades Fire. He wanted the games to go on, but the league had other plans. "We'll do what's right, " Redick said, before the postponement was announced. The Lakers have another game with the Spurs on Monday, and the Clippers are set to host the Miami Heat. The Clippers think their games starting Monday will happen as planned. They're keeping the health and safety of their community and fans as their top priority.
