The NBA rescheduled Lakers and Clippers games postponed in Los Angeles 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 game postponed, the Jan. 9 Charlotte at Lakers game, will now be played on Feb. 19, shaving one day off of 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 will also have a back-to-back removed off their schedule, with their game against the Jazz originally set for Feb. 11 now scheduled for Feb. 10.
