The wildfires in the Los Angeles area caused devastation, with thousands of homes being lost and even more acres of land being burned as well. As a result of the wildfires, the Los Angeles Lakers postponed an earlier contest of theirs against the San Antonio Spurs due to the wildfire, as additionally, Lakers and Golden State Warriors head coaches JJ Redick and Steve Kerr suffered the loss of homes from the fire.

Factor in the New Orleans Pelicans, who had their contest against the Milwaukee Bucks postponed due to severe weather conditions in the area; the NBA has announced that they will be adjusting the schedule to accommodate for those postponed games.
