The NBA isn’t hitting pause for long despite the chaos. On Sunday, the Clippers revealed that their game at Intuit Dome in Inglewood got the green light. Even with the massive Palisades fire nearby, they’re moving forward. Leonard was back at practice on Sunday, but don’t expect to hear much—he wasn’t put in front of reporters. That’s right. The damage and economic fallout? AccuWeather estimates it’s somewhere between $135 billion and $150 billion. Tough times but it looks like the NBA is back on track and hopefully The Klaw too.

Earlier in the week, the 6 foot 7 forward returned to his Pacific Palisades home to be with his family. Still, it’s so typical Kawhi– to keep things quiet. He’s like the NBA’s version of a locked vault—private and impossible to crack!

But Nico Batum and Terance Mann provided some reassurance about Kawhi Leonard’s situation, sharing that he and his family seemed to be doing fine. Mann explained, “I know Kawhi had left the team for that game to check on his situation, but we didn’t really hear from him. So it’s good to see that him and his family are doing good.”

It’s clear Kawhi’s teammates respect his privacy, but they also seem genuinely relieved he’s okay.

After a five-day break, the Clippers are finally getting back on the court. Their Saturday game against Charlotte didn’t happen because of the devastating Wildfires. The Lakers were made to reshuffle their schedule, too. First, Thursday’s game with the Hornets got postponed, and then their planned opener in a two-game set against the Spurs on Saturday was also postponed.

Quite a few NBA-related individuals from LA had to evacuate their residences. In fact, Lakers coach JJ Redick and his family were among the first on the list, revealing that his family’s rented home and most of their belongings were destroyed by the fire.

Tyronn Lue doesn’t have an answer if Kawhi Leonard’s home is safe or not

When the fires broke out, the Clippers were on the road. Leonard had to leave the team in Denver to return to his family and home in Pacific Palisades, which was one of the hardest-hit areas. When asked about the player’s situation, Clippers coach Ty Lue said, “You have to talk to him about that.”

Lue made it clear that Kawhi has been handling everything as best as he can. “He’s been good. It’s a tough situation for him, dealing with his family and house. We’re here to support him, not just Kawhi, but anyone in the community who needs help. We’ll be there.”

Terance Mann shared just how chaotic things have been for everyone affected. “People are still barely getting sleep,” he said.

“Some guys lost power, some have family stuff to sort out, some kids’ schools burned down. It’s bigger than basketball.” Clearly, the devastating impact of this calamity causing unimaginable losses worth billions of dollars has been far-reaching.

Back in Denver, Nicolas Batum found himself checking his phone at halftime—something he doesn’t usually do—just to see where the fires were. Once he returned to LA, the hoopster rushed to pack his family’s things, unsure if they would need to leave. It’s hard to imagine the stress of dealing with all that while being so far away.

Now that things have calmed down a little, though, the LA Clippers are eager to get back on the court. “We’ve been through the crazy stuff for the last five days,” Batum said. “I think people could use a couple hours to take their minds off things.” Lue added that the team plans to help out however they can, offering support to the community in any way possible.
