NBA Monitoring Wildfires To See If Lakers’ Game Against Hornets Needs To Be Rescheduled

The Los Angeles Lakers returned home late Tuesday night and are getting ready to host the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday, although that game may be in jeopardy.

With Santa Ana wins at an all-time high, there are numerous fires across Los Angeles right now, most notably in the Pacific Palisades and Pasadena. Thousands of people have had to evacuate their homes with a lot of them burning down over the last two days.

With the fires continuing on and everyone’s thoughts currently elsewhere, the NBA released a statement saying they will be monitoring the situation over the next 24 hours before deciding if the Lakers will play their game against the Hornets or if it will need to be rescheduled

“We are in communication with the Lakers and Hornets and continue to closely monitor the situation to determine if any scheduling adjustments are necessary related to tomorrow night’s game,” NBA spokesman Mike Bass said.
