Saturday Showdown Delayed: NBA Postpones Spurs vs. Lakers and Hornets vs. Clippers!

• Assist with Southern California wildfire relief initiatives

NEW YORK – The NBA events that were supposed to take place on Saturday, featuring the San Antonio Spurs against the Los Angeles Lakers at Crypto.com Arena and the Charlotte Hornets versus the LA Clippers at Intuit Dome, have been postponed due to the persistent wildfires in the Los Angeles vicinity. The revised dates for these matches will be disclosed at a future date.

The NBA, along with the Clippers and Lakers organizations, has been in dialogue with local authorities in Los Angeles and Inglewood regarding the current circumstances and the game postponements ensure that no resources will be redirected away from the wildfire response operations.

The NBA and the National Basketball Players Association are contributing one million dollars for urgent relief to the American Red Cross, World Central Kitchen, and other charities aimed at aiding those impacted by this catastrophe, and are collaborating with the Lakers and Clippers on strategies to support long-term recovery and rebuilding activities.
