由于洛杉矶地区持续不断的山火,几场周六的比赛被推迟后,NBA 已通知湖人队和快船队,他们原定于周一的比赛预计将在加密货币网球中心和Intuit Dome球馆举行。
湖人队将主场迎战圣安东尼奥马刺队,而快船队将主场迎战迈阿密热火队。
“这超出了我的职权范围,”快船队主教练泰伦·卢(Tyronn Lue)在被问及周一比赛是否合适时说道。“我认为NBA,他们对正在发生的事情以及他们需要做的事情有很好的把握。所以,他们做出了决定。他们知道我们现在在加州正经历一段艰难的时期,他们理解这一点。
“希望随着明天比赛的回归,我们能带来一些快乐和团结,并尽量在艰难时期给人们带来一些笑容。”
联盟周五推迟了周六马刺队对阵湖人队和夏洛特黄蜂队对阵快船队的比赛,这些比赛将改期进行。
NBA 还表示,将向美国红十字会、世界中央厨房和其他组织捐赠 100 万美元用于即时救济。湖人队还将在即将到来的主场比赛中举办捐赠活动,从周一开始,鼓励球迷们携带未使用的、未开封的物品来支持洛杉矶地区食物银行的救援工作。
在洛杉矶地区的多次山火中,大约有 10.5 万人仍在强制疏散令之下。至少有 16 人因火灾丧生。帕利塞兹大火已经是洛杉矶历史上破坏性最大的火灾,超过 5600 座建筑物被摧毁,过火面积超过 24000 英亩。
“这可能是我经历过的最大的事情,”卢说。“看到家庭和人们失去他们的房屋,失去他们的生意,失去亲人。这非常令人沮丧,很难真正理解他们现在正在经历什么。”
马刺队后卫克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)是洛杉矶居民,曾效力于快船队,他在周三晚上球队输给密尔沃基雄鹿队后表达了对社区的担忧。保罗说,他的妻子和孩子周二撤离了他们的家。
“正在发生的一切确实很可怕,”保罗说。“我向一些失去一切的亲密朋友和家人送去我的爱和祈祷。”
快船队前锋尼古拉斯·巴图姆(Nicolas Batum)表示,他的球队在过去五天里“经历了一些疯狂的事情”,包括周三在丹佛掘金队的比赛,当时洛杉矶正在进行疏散。
“在丹佛的那场比赛一整天都很奇怪,”巴图姆说。“我一整天都在和我的家人通电话。那天晚上我没睡。
“我想我在比赛开始前三分钟停止了查看手机。我在中场休息时查看了。我从不这样做。只是为了确保我的妻子和孩子平安无事。”
马刺队在密尔沃基的比赛结束后不久就开始了飞往洛杉矶的航班,并在周四早些时候抵达圣莫尼卡。俱乐部入住了圣莫尼卡的球队酒店,但几个小时后决定出于预防措施搬到洛杉矶市中心的酒店。
NBA此前已经推迟了周四湖人队和黄蜂队在加密货币网球中心的比赛,这场比赛仍然没有重新安排。
湖人队教练杰·杰·雷迪克(J.J. Redick)上周表示,他在帕利塞兹大火中失去了自己的家。
在周一的比赛之后,湖人队将于周三主场迎战热火队,而快船队将在同一天主场迎战布鲁克林篮网队。

Lakers, Clippers expected to resume home slate Monday amid fires
After postponing a couple of Saturday matchups due to the ongoing wildfires in the Los Angeles area, the NBA has informed the Lakers and the Clippers that their regularly scheduled games are expected to be played Monday at Crypto.com Arena and Intuit Dome.
The Lakers are scheduled to host the San Antonio Spurs, while the Clippers will host the Miami Heat.
“It’s above my pay grade,” Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said when asked whether it feels right to play Monday. "I think the NBA, they have a good handle on things that’s going on and what they need to do. So, they make the decision. They know we’re going through a tough time right now in the state of California, and they understand that.
“Hopefully, we can bring some kind of joy with the game coming back tomorrow and some togetherness, as you may, and try to put some smiles on people’s faces in tough times.”
The league on Friday postponed games Saturday featuring the Spurs at the Lakers and the Charlotte Hornets at the Clippers, with those contests to be rescheduled for later dates.
The NBA also said it would donate $1 million for immediate relief to the American Red Cross, World Central Kitchen and additional organizations. The Lakers also will host a donation drive at upcoming home games starting Monday, with fans encouraged to bring unused, unopened items to support the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank’s relief efforts.
Approximately 105,000 people remain under mandatory evacuation orders amid multiple wildfires in the Los Angeles area. At least 16 people have died as a result of the fires. The Palisades Fire is already the most destructive in L.A. history, with more than 5,600 structures destroyed over 24,000 acres.
“This is probably the biggest thing I’ve been a part of,” Lue said. “Just seeing families and people lose their houses, lose their businesses, lose loved ones. It’s pretty devastating, and it’s tough to really fathom what they’re going through right now.”
Spurs guard Chris Paul, a Los Angeles resident who formerly played for the Clippers, expressed concern for the community after his team’s loss Wednesday night at the Milwaukee Bucks. Paul said his wife and children evacuated their home Tuesday.
“It’s definitely scary, everything that is going on,” Paul said. “I’m sending so much love and prayers to some of my closest friends and family who have lost everything.”
Clippers forward Nicolas Batum said his team has “been through some crazy stuff” over the past five days, including playing Wednesday’s game at the Denver Nuggets as evacuations were happening in Los Angeles.
“That game in Denver was weird all day,” Batum said. "I was on the phone with my family all day. I didn’t sleep that night.
“I think I stopped checking my phone three minutes before game. I checked at halftime. I never do that. Just to make sure my wife and kids were OK.”
The Spurs arrived in Santa Monica early Thursday after landing in Los Angeles on a flight that commenced shortly after the team’s matchup at Milwaukee. The club checked into its team hotel in Santa Monica but decided hours later to relocate to a hotel in downtown Los Angeles for precautionary reasons.
The NBA had previously postponed Thursday’s matchup between the Lakers and the Hornets at Crypto.com Arena, with that game still yet to be rescheduled.
Lakers coach JJ Redick said last week that he lost his home in the Palisades Fire.
Following Monday’s games, the Lakers are scheduled to host the Heat on Wednesday, while the Clippers will host the Brooklyn Nets the same day.
