Due to the ongoing wildfires in the area, the Los Angeles Lakers have decided to postpone their NBA game against the Charlotte Hornets on Friday.
The Los Angeles Kings, an NHL team that also plays at the Crypto.com Arena, postponed their Thursday game against the Calgary Flames, which was originally set for 3:30 GMT.
Nearly 180,000 people were evacuated as firefighters in Los Angeles battled several fires in the city’s outskirts.
“We’re heartbroken for Los Angeles.” The Lakers sought to “focus on what matters most today” in their statement.
“We are thinking of everyone affected by this unthinkable circumstance. We also want to express our gratitude to the first responders and all of you who come together in times of need. LA, we’re with you.
