The NBA rescheduled Lakers and Clippers home games postponed last week because of wildfires, moving around six other scheduled games to accommodate the changes.

The Lakers game against San Antonio originally scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 11, still needs to be rescheduled.

The first Lakers game postponed, Jan. 9 against Charlotte, will be played Feb. 19, shaving one day off their All-Star break and adding a home-road back-to-back, with the Lakers scheduled to play in Portland the following day.

The Lakers also will have a back-to-back removed from their schedule, with their game against the Utah Jazz originally set for Feb. 11 now scheduled for Feb. 10.

The Lakers-Spurs and Clippers-Hornets games for Saturday have been postponed by the NBA because of the L.A. wildfires.

The Clippers will have four games rescheduled. Their Jan. 11 game against Charlotte will be played March 16. Their game with Chicago next Tuesday will be played Monday. A home game scheduled with Washington on March 16 will be played on Jan. 23. A road game against Utah moved from March 19 to Feb. 13, the day before the All-Star break.
