NBA games on different US coasts postponed due to opposing extreme conditions

The league said the decision had been made "to prioritize the safety of the players, fans and staff due to the severe weather and hazardous icy conditions in the Atlanta area." The Rockets' flight arrived in Atlanta before the postponement was announced.

Power outage numbers around Atlanta crept up Friday night as falling trees on power lines became a widespread issue. More than 110,000 customers were without electricity, mostly in the Atlanta area.

"The NBA and the Clippers and Lakers organizations have been in communication with local officials in Los Angeles and Inglewood about the ongoing situation in the Los Angeles area and the game postponements ensure no resources will be diverted from the wildfire response efforts," the league said in a statement.

The Lakers' home game against the Charlotte Hornets on Jan. 9 was previously postponed.

The NBA also announced that the National Basketball Players Association would donate $1 million to the American Red Cross and other organizations to assist in disaster relief efforts.

It remains unclear whether conditions will result in the postponement of additional Lakers or Clippers home games. The rescheduled dates for the postponed Hawks, Lakers and Clippers games will be announced at a future date, the league said.
