Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr is also feeling the effects of the fire. He said Tuesday after his team's loss to the Heat that his mother was forced to evacuate. Additionally, the family home of team staffer Everett Dayton is "lost," according to Kerr.
Deadly wildfires in the Los Angeles area are inflicting devastating damage on the region. Here are updates on how the sports world has been impacted.
LA wildfires, including massive Palisades and Eaton fires, continue to devastate the region with zero containment. Damage could total $50 billion.
The Palisades is home to the Riviera Country Club, home of the tour’s Genesis Invitational (formerly known as the Los Angeles Open), which Tiger Woods now hosts. The course and club are reportedly fine, although the neighborhood surrounding the property has been affected. The event is scheduled for Feb. 13-16.
Lakers coach JJ Redick's family was among the 30,000 people under evacuation orders from a wildfire in the Los Angeles area.
