NBA games are scheduled to return to wildfire-ravaged Los Angeles on Monday night, with the Clippers planning to resume their schedule when they host the Heat.
Los Angeles Clippers guard Terance Mann makes a pass around Atlanta Hawks forward Onyeka Okongwu during the second half of an NBA basketball game Saturday, Jan. 4, 2025, in Los Angeles.
“When people are losing their homes, kids are losing schools, losing lives, it’s very difficult to approach the game of basketball because life is bigger than basketball,” Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said. “Hopefully we can bring some kind of joy with the game coming back tomorrow and some togetherness and try to put some smiles on people’s faces in tough times.”
The Lakers announced plans for a donation drive for their upcoming games, starting Monday, asking fans to bring new, in-the-package items to support the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank’s relief efforts. The Spurs had to change hotels because of fire concerns after arriving in Los Angeles, and the Heat arrived on Saturday night as scheduled after playing in Portland.
“I’ve watched the news more than I ever have in my life over the past three days,” Mann said, smiling. “I was just on YouTube TV watching the news in the locker room trying to get an update on what’s going on.”
