The fires in Los Angeles have affected numerous NBA teams, including the Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, and Golden State Warriors.

Lakers head coach JJ Redick's family home was burned down by the Pacific Palisades fire. Forward Anthony Davis donated $20,000 to the Lakers' videographer after his childhood home was destroyed, per TMZ Sports.

Warriors bench boss Steve Kerr confirmed his childhood home was also lost and that his mother had to be evacuated.

Clippers star Kawhi Leonard had stepped away from the team to be with family members who were forced to evacuate from their homes, according to NBA insider Chris Haynes. He was active for the Clippers' win over the Miami Heat on Jan. 13.

All 12 Los Angeles-area major sports teams have combined to donate $8 million to support victims and firefighters, The Athletic's Law Murray reported.
