The evacuation orders, which now include parts of the Los Angeles area, have caused tens of thousands of people to flee their homes.  The fires, of course, are also impacting athletes and sporting events across the city.

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr acknowledged the “terrifying” impact of the wildfires in California, while also revealing that his mother was forced to evacuate her home in Pacific Palisades.

The flames have consumed approximately 45 square miles, equivalent to the size of San Francisco, and evacuation orders have been issued for about 180,000 people. The Palisades fire is the most destructive in Los Angeles' history, with 5,316 structures destroyed as of Thursday afternoon.
