NY Post
The Lakers’ home game against the Hornets on Thursday has been postponed due to the raging LA fires, the NBA announced.
A new date for the game will be announced at a later time.
“We’re heartbroken for Los Angeles. Our thoughts are with all those impacted by this unimaginable situation,” the Lakers said in a post on X. “And our gratitude is with the first responders and all of you who come together when we need each other the most.
“Tonight’s game will be rescheduled to focus on what matters most today. We’re with you, L.A.”
Lakers coach JJ Redick been personally affected by the fires in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles, having lost his home, according to ESPN.
Redick’s family evacuated the area Tuesday.
Just when it appeared that the Rangers might — might — have been gaining at least a smidgen of traction, they lost not only a 3-0 first-period lead, they lost not only a 4-3 third-period lead, they lost not only a 5-4 overtime game to Dallas at the Garden on Monday, but they also lost their tenuous foothold.
