LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers told reporters the wildfires in Southern California forced him and his family to evacuate their home last week.
The wildfires that continue to wreak havoc on the Los Angeles region forced LeBron James and his family to leave their home. The four-time NBA champion confirmed to reporters he has taken up temporary residence in a hotel that has left him feeling 'off.' James also opened up about his emotional state as he learned that some of his friends lost their homes. 'There’s been a lot of emotions,' James said during a news conference.
This is not the first time the James family has evacuated due to fires. In 2019, the family left their home after brush fires broke out near the Getty Center in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles. James lives in Brentwood. James provided updates on his social media feed at the time. He spoke about some of the differences between what his family experienced more than five years ago and what they are contending with now.
Sports has always given people an opportunity to kind of just temporarily forget about whatever they may have been going through. And us being such a big part of the LA community — along with a lot of other sports teams, but we know how important the Lakers is to the community — hopefully we can provide that to a lot of families.' The NBA postponed the Lakers' home games on Jan. 9 and Jan. 11 due to the wildfires.
