The entire NBA, NBPA, WNBA and WNBPA family sends its thoughts and support to the community of Los Angeles during this challenging time.  We are grateful for the thousands of local firefighters and first responders who have demonstrated enormous bravery.  Our prayers remain with those affected by the unimaginable devastation caused by the wildfires. To learn more, get help and/or support please visit the organizations below.

The NBA and the National Basketball Players Association are donating one million dollars for immediate relief to the American Red Cross, World Central Kitchen and other organizations to support those affected by this disaster and are working with the Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Sparks on ways to support longer term assistance and rebuilding efforts. 

Fans attending Lakers games this week are encouraged to bring new, in-the-package, items to support the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank’s relief efforts. All contributions will assist those impacted by the recent wildfires. Collection bins will be located outside Crypto.com Arena at the Figueroa, Kobe Bryant and Star Plaza entrances. The collections will start when doors open 1.5 hours before tipoff until halftime of each matchup.

The Lakers are hosting a drive-thru donation center at the UCLA Health Training Center (2275 E Mariposa Ave., El Segundo, CA, 90245) all week from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; come bring non-perishable food items and new non-food items.
