In addition to the events' human and logistical tolls, they have also significantly affected sports schedules across the continent. On Wednesday morning, the NBA announced that it would shift around the dates and times of nine games due to the wildfires and storm—with one still left to be sorted out.

The four NBA games postponed last week -- three by the devastating wildfires in the Los Angeles area and one by a winter storm in Atlanta -- have caused a ripple effect in the league's schedule, with nine games involving nine teams being rescheduled to make up for those dates and one game's makeup date still to be determined.

Tuesday’s matchup between the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Clippers was one of eight games rescheduled by the NBA due to the California wildfires. The Bulls were originally scheduled to play the Clippers at Intuit Dome on Tuesday night.
