The Los Angeles Lakers and head coach JJ Redick have had a heavy heart this past week as wildfires have raged in the city the past few days.
The fires occurred this past Tuesday, starting with the Pacific Palisades and later into Eaton Canyon that’s affected the northeastern portion of Los Angeles. The Palisades Fire in particular has caused massive destruction in its wake and continues to rage on.
Unfortunately, the Palisades Fire burned down numerous homes and businesses including Redick’s own place of residence. Due to the unhealthy conditions and the status of the fire, the NBA decided to postpone the team’s game against the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday though a rescheduled date has yet to be confirmed.
