The Lakers’ scheduled game against the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday has been postponed due to the ongoing wildfire crisis in Los Angeles County, the league and team announced.

The game, which was scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. at Crypto.com Arena, will be rescheduled to a later date. Tickets for Thursday’s game will be redeemed on the rescheduled date.

“We are heartbroken for Los Angeles. Our thoughts are with everyone affected by this unimaginable situation. And our gratitude goes out to the first responders and all of you who come together when we need each other most,” the Lakers said in a statement posted on social media. “Tonight’s game will be rescheduled to focus on what matters most today.

“We’re with you, LA.”

The Lakers’ next scheduled game is against San Antonio on Saturday at Crypto.com.

The decision to postpone Thursday’s game, which came a day after the NBA announced it was monitoring the situation, comes at a time when members of the organization are trying to cope with the devastating fires affecting people inside the Lakers, their friends and their families were affected.

“The entire NBA family sends its thoughts and support to the Los Angeles community during this challenging time,” the NBA said in a statement. “We are grateful for the thousands of local firefighters and first responders who showed tremendous courage. Our prayers remain with those affected by the unimaginable devastation caused by the wildfires.”

Lakers head coach JJ Redick, who was renting a home in Pacific Palisades, had his family evacuated early Tuesday.

“I just want to thank everyone in the Palisades right now and send them thoughts and prayers. I live there. My family and my wife’s family, my wife’s twin sister, they were evacuated. “I know a lot of people are freaking out right now, including my family,” he said before the Lakers’ game in Dallas on Tuesday. “…I know that many people are afraid. So I just want to acknowledge that. Thoughts and prayers definitely. I hope everyone stays safe.”

Wednesday’s NHL game between the Kings and Calgary Flames has also been postponed. The NFL has moved the Rams’ NFC wild-card game Monday night at SoFi Stadium to State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

Elsewhere in the NBA, Clippers star Kawhi Leonard missed the team’s loss in Denver on Wednesday to be with his family after they were evacuated from the Palisades area. Warriors coach Steve Kerr said his mother had to flee her Pacific Palisades home Tuesday and that the Golden State video coordinator’s childhood home was destroyed by the fires. Lakers president Jeanie Buss has deep roots in Los Angeles and attended Palisades High School, which suffered fire damage.
