The ongoing wildfires in California have spread into the Berkeley area, causing Cal's men's basketball team to cancel Thursday night's game against Detroit Mercy. The fires have caused unhealthy air quality levels across the region and in Haas Pavilion, where a "significant amount of smoke" has infiltrated the arena, the team announced.
"This was the best situation for all the student-athletes, coaches and fans," Detroit Mercy's men's basketball team wrote on Twitter. "We are praying for all of those truly affected by the wildfires and air quality."
No decision has yet been made regarding Cal's football game against rival Stanford on Saturday.
