Lakers to resume regular season against Spurs on Monday

After having their last two games postponed due to the wildfires in Los Angeles, the Lakers look set to resume their season on Monday against the Spurs.

The Lakers look set to finally return to the court on Monday against the Spurs to resume their regular season following a nearly week-long break.

As wildfires wreaked havoc on Los Angeles, the Lakers' games against the Hornets on Thursday and the Spurs on Saturday were postponed. However, as reported by Dave McMenamin of ESPN, the Lakers will return to the court on Monday against the Spurs to continue their regular season.

The Lakers held practice on Friday, offering a first chance for the team to talk about the situation at hand. An emotional JJ Redick spoke about losing his house and the destruction in the Palisades community from the fires.

At the same time, he also stated that he and the team wanted to play their game on Saturday against San Antonio. Obviously, that was not possible as both their game and the Clippers’ game were postponed. Both, though, appear set to resume playing on Monday.

The Lakers held a shootaround on Saturday morning but did not practice on Sunday. The Clippers, however, did practice on Sunday, offering them a chance to speak of the fires as well.

Kawhi Leonard has also been away from the team as his family was forced to evacuate as well. The Clippers, too, will return to the court on Monday as they are slated to play the Heat.

California governor Gavin Newsom provided an encouraging update, relatively speaking, about the situation with the fires on Sunday morning.

Hopefully, things continue to trend positively, including the Lakers and Clippers both resuming their regular seasons.
