The Los Angeles Lakers returned winless from a two-game road trip against the Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks. While they were hopeful that a game against the struggling Charlotte Hornets would help them get back on track, that contest will have to wait.
The wildfires in Southern California caused immeasurable damage in the Pacific Palisades, Altadena/Pasadena, and Sylmar areas on Tuesday, prompting emergency responses from the city. And just one day later, the NBA took action with the upcoming Lakers home game.
