Unfortunately, the Los Angeles area and Los Angeles Lakers personally have been victims due to these recent wildfires. Causing irreparable damage to communities with presumably hundreds of thousands of people losing their homes. A player like Austin Reaves, who found a long-term home in L.A., must have had a tough time watching these fires, along with his head coach tragically losing his home.
With all that in mind, the Lakers’ game against the Charlotte Hornets was postponed due to these wildfires. Thankfully, it gave players and coaches the time to decompress and figure out what to do next.
