Los Angeles Lakers Postpone Game Amid Wildfires

Posted : 10 January 2025

The Los Angeles Lakers have postponed their NBA game against the Charlotte Hornets, originally scheduled for Friday, due to the ongoing wildfires in the region. This decision comes after firefighters in Los Angeles have been working tirelessly to combat several wildfires in the city's suburbs, forcing nearly 180,000 residents to evacuate. The Lakers expressed their heartfelt support for the affected community in a statement, emphasizing the importance of focusing on the safety of everyone during this challenging time.

 

Alongside the Lakers, the NHL's Los Angeles Kings, who also share the Crypto.com Arena with the Lakers, announced the postponement of their game against the Calgary Flames. This NHL game was originally scheduled for Thursday morning. Both teams have shown solidarity with the community, with the Kings offering their thoughts and gratitude to the first responders working hard to contain the blazes and protect the city.

 

As the situation continues to unfold, the NBA confirmed that the Lakers' game against the Hornets will be rescheduled, but no new date has been announced yet. The Lakers, like the NBA, extended their support to the residents of Los Angeles, acknowledging the difficult circumstances and expressing their gratitude for the tireless efforts of first responders. The Kings also echoed similar sentiments in their statement, recognizing the ongoing work of those on the frontlines.

 

In the midst of these events, basketball star Kawhi Leonard, playing for the LA Clippers, is reportedly stepping away from the team to be with his family, who were evacuated from the area due to the fires. Despite the ongoing crisis, the Los Angeles Rams have indicated that their upcoming NFL playoff game against the Minnesota Vikings will still take place at SoFi Stadium as planned. The NFL is monitoring the situation closely, in communication with the teams and players, ensuring that safety remains the top priority.
