After the Los Angeles Kings hockey team’s NHL match scheduled for Wednesday was postponed due to the fires raging in California’s largest city, it’s the turn of the NBA match between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Charlotte Hornets , scheduled for Thursday night to Friday, which has been postponed. “We are heartbroken for Los Angeles. Our thoughts are with those affected by this unimaginable situation. Tonight’s match will be rescheduled to focus on the most important thing today,” the Lakers wrote in a press release, without giving a new date.
Impressive fires ravage the city. Reports from the Los Angeles Times reveal that thousands of people lost their homes and, tragically, five lives were taken. Nearly 180,000 people are under evacuation orders. Among them was Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Reddick. His house was destroyed by flames.
“I want to take a moment to acknowledge and send my thoughts and prayers to everyone who is in the Palisades right now,” the Lakers coach said. This is where I live. I understand how many people are on alert and scared by the news coming from the region. This is a troubling time, and my thoughts are firmly with all those affected, hoping for everyone’s safety. »
The Lakers must then face Victor Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs twice in a row in their home arena, Saturday then Monday. These two meetings are, in fact, very uncertain.
