The NBA also pushed back the LA Clippers' game against the Charlotte Hornets, which was slated for Saturday, too. 'The game postponements ensure no resources will be diverted from the wildfire response efforts,' the NBA said. 'The NBA and the National Basketball Players Association are donating $1million... to support those affected by this disaster and are working with the Lakers and Clippers on ways to support longer term assistance and rebuilding efforts.'.
