During the recent game between the Warriors and the Lakers in Los Angeles, NBA head coaches Steve Kerr and JJ Redick extended a warm welcome to the basketball players and staff from Palisades Charter High School. The Palisades Charter High School team had faced displacement due to a devastating wildfire that caused significant damage to their school and neighborhood last month.
For Kerr and Redick, the impact of the wildfire hit close to home. Kerr's childhood residence in Pacific Palisades was destroyed, and his 90-year-old mother had to evacuate. Similarly, Redick and his family lost their home in the same fire. Lakers owner Jeanie Buss also joined in to support the Pali High team during the game.
