洛杉矶——周四下午，由于摧毁了帕西菲克帕利塞兹的野火的烟雾吹到了圣莫尼卡，马刺队出于“预防安全原因”更换了酒店，一位球队发言人说道。
周三晚上在密尔沃基比赛结束后，马刺队于周四凌晨 4 点左右飞抵洛杉矶，抵达圣莫尼卡。他们入住了球队通常下榻的酒店，但几个小时后就搬到了市中心的一个地点，距离圣莫尼卡北部受灾严重的野火区超过 30 英里。
马刺队原计划在圣莫尼卡的一所高中体育馆进行训练，但这所学校因为火灾而关闭。
随着马刺队撤离海岸，风景如画、富裕的海滨社区帕西菲克帕利塞兹已成一片废墟。从周四到周五，洛杉矶历史上最具破坏性的野火的烟雾弥漫在俯瞰圣莫尼卡的山丘上。
马刺队计划于周六和周一只在洛杉矶市中心的加密货币网体育馆与湖人队进行两场比赛。NBA 推迟了湖人队与夏洛特黄蜂队原定于周四晚上进行的比赛，但似乎联盟不会对与马刺队的比赛采取同样的措施。
ESPN 援引消息人士的话报道，湖人队教练JJ·雷迪克(JJ Redick)在帕西菲克帕利塞兹的租住房屋是本周肆虐洛杉矶都市区的几场大火中，该地区损失的 5300 座建筑物之一。
与此同时，金州勇士队教练、前马刺队球员史蒂夫·科尔(Steve Kerr)在帕利塞兹的童年故居也被大火烧毁。科尔周四表示，他 90 岁的母亲安(Ann)在疏散后安全。
雷迪克告诉记者，他仍然想在周六与马刺队的比赛中上场。
“我认为我拥有很强的区分事情的能力，”雷迪克根据 LakersNation.com 的报道说道。“我试图通过治疗来摆脱这种状况，但治疗师没有尽到他的职责，所以我仍然在区分事情。
“对我来说，来到这里很棒，因为它给了我一些可以期待的事情。和队员们在一起，进行教练工作，我告诉他们，我们已经为明天的任何情况做好了准备。我们显然会与 NBA、马刺队和市政府合作，做正确的事情。我想明天上场。我想明天执教。我希望这些家伙明天能上场打球。如果我们能打，我们就会打。我相信，对于每个受到此事影响的人来说，都有一个悲伤的过程。有一个治愈的过程。我只能代表我自己，我疗伤和悲伤过程的一部分就是和这些家伙在一起，执教篮球。”
马刺队也受到了火灾的影响。
“正在发生的一切确实很可怕，”马刺队控球后卫克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)在密尔沃基的比赛后告诉记者。自从在洛杉矶快船队效力以来，他一直在洛杉矶抚养家人。“我向一些失去一切的亲密朋友和家人致以无限的爱和祈祷。”
保罗的妻子和两个孩子周二撤离了他们的家，逃到洛杉矶一个更安全地区的酒店。
超过五场大火，大部分未得到控制，在时速超过 70 英里的强劲圣安娜风的助长下肆虐该地区。其中一场甚至蔓延到与世界娱乐中心接壤的好莱坞山。
官员们迄今为止报告了至少 10 人死亡。
消防队员一直在努力控制所有火灾，包括帕西菲克帕利塞兹的那场大火，这场大火覆盖了超过 19,000 英亩的土地。
替补中锋难以获得上场时间
代理马刺队教练米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)正在鼓励扎克·科林斯(Zach Collins)和查尔斯·巴塞(Charles Bassey)在替补维克多·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)的同时，保持简单，力求打得更好。
科林斯和巴塞都在努力争取替补中锋的位置，但两人都没有在轮换阵容中获得稳定的位置，这引发了人们的猜测，马刺队可能会在 2 月 6 日交易截止日期之前寻找一名大个子球员。
“简单、扎实的打法，”约翰逊谈到他想从科林斯和巴塞身上看到的东西时说道。“不要尝试做任何超出自己能力范围的事情，或者强迫自己去做一些他们觉得必须做出的特定动作。这是我们想要如何比赛的整体方法，这可能是回答这个问题的最佳方式。我们希望在 48 分钟内都以同样的方式比赛，无论阵容如何，无论谁在场上。”

Spurs swap hotels to stay far away from L.A. wildfires
LOS ANGELES – With smoke from the wildfires that destroyed Pacific Palisades blowing into Santa Monica, the Spurs changed hotels Thursday afternoon for “precautionary safety reasons,” a team spokesman said.
The Spurs arrived in Santa Monica around 4 a.m. Thursday after flying into Los Angeles following their game in Milwaukee on Wednesday night. They checked into their usual team hotel but hours later relocated to a downtown location more than 30 miles away from the wildfires that devastated areas north of Santa Monica.
The Spurs originally planned to practice at a high school gym in Santa Monica, but the school closed due to the fires.
As the Spurs relocated away from the coast, the picturesque, wealthy seaside community of Pacific Palisades lay in smoldering ruins. Smoke from the most destructive wildfire in L.A. history wafted through the hills overlooking Santa Monica throughout Thursday into Friday.
The Spurs are scheduled to play two games against the Lakers at Crypto.com Arena in downtown L.A. on Saturday and Monday. The NBA postponed the Lakers game against Charlotte scheduled for Thursday night, but it doesn’t appear as if the league will do the same with the games against the Spurs.
Citing sources, ESPN reported Lakers coach JJ Redick’s rental home in Pacific Palisades was one of the 5,300 structures in that area lost in the biggest of multiple fires raging across the Los Angeles metropolitan area this week.
Golden State Warriors coach and former Spur Steve Kerr, meanwhile, lost his childhood home in Palisades. Kerr said Thursday his 90-year-old mother, Ann, is safe after evacuating.
Redick told reporters he would still like to play on Saturday against the Spurs.
“I think I have a pretty strong ability to compartmentalize things,” Redick said, per LakersNation.com. “Tried to get out of that with therapy but the therapist didn’t do his job so still compartmentalizing.
“Being here, for me, was great because it gave me something to look forward to, honestly. Being around the guys and coaching, I told them this, we’re prepared for whatever tomorrow. We obviously are gonna work with the NBA, the Spurs, the city and do what’s right. I want to play tomorrow. I want to coach tomorrow. I want these guys to play tomorrow. And if we can play, we’ll play. I do believe that for everybody that has been impacted by this, there is a grieving process. There is a healing process. I can only speak for myself, part of my healing and grieving process is being here with these guys and coaching basketball.”
The Spurs also have been touched by the fires.
“It’s definitely scary, everything that is going on,” Spurs point guard Chris Paul, who has raised his family in L.A. since his days with the Los Angeles Clippers, told reporters after the game in Milwaukee. “I’m sending so much love and prayers to some of my closest friends and family who have lost everything.”
Paul’s wife and two children evacuated their home Tuesday, fleeing to a hotel in a safer part of Los Angeles.
More than five fires, largely uncontained and fueled by powerful Santa Ana winds gusting to more than 70 mph, have ravaged the area. One even spread into the Hollywood Hills bordering on the world’s entertainment center.
Officials have reported at least 10 deaths so far.
Fire crews have struggled to gain containment on all the fires, including the one in Pacific Palisades, which covered more than 19,000 acres.
Backup centers struggle to earn minutes
Acting Spurs coach Mitch Johnson is encouraging Zach Collins and Charles Bassey to keep it simple as they both seek to play better while backing up Victor Wembanyama.
Collins and Bassey are struggling to gain a foothold at reserve center but neither has earned a consistent spot in the rotation, sparking speculation that the Spurs could seek a big man before the trade deadline expires Feb. 6.
“Simple, solid plays,” Johnson said of what he wants to see from Collins and Bassey. “Not trying to do anything outside yourself or extend themselves where they feel like they have to make some certain plays. It’s a holistic approach to how we want to play and that’s probably the best way to answer this. We want to play the same way for 48 minutes regardless of the lineups or who’s on the court.”
