Hornets-Lakers Postponed, Other Home Games in Flux. Plus, LeBron, AD and All-Star Voting.

Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

As expected, Thursday's game between the Hornets and Lakers at Crypto.com Arena was postponed due to the wildfires raging throughout the Los Angeles area. Attempting to hold a basketball contest amidst all this chaos and tragedy would have been both tone-deaf and logistically irresponsible, particularly at a time when JJ Redick is dealing with the loss of his Pacific Palisades home. As such, that event has been tabled, and there's a good possibility that Saturday and Monday's upcoming games vs. the Spurs will require relocation to play on time. And whatever solution is landed upon by the Lakers and the league is obviously a first-world problem compared to the plight of so many Angelenos.

In the meantime, this show continues its attempt at a welcome distraction for many of its listeners. The actual basketball conversation centered around the second return of fan voting for the All-Star Game, which currently has LeBron James paced as a starter for the 21st consecutive season, although not by enough for it to be a lock. It also has Anthony Davis paced to make the team, although also not by enough for it to be a lock. This speaks far more to the overwhelming competition in the West than anything LeBron or AD are lacking as players this season. It's a brutal conference, and the All-Star names in the mix reinforce this.

Hosts: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky

Segment 1: It's a difficult time for sports - and life - in Los Angeles right now.

Segment 2: Will LeBron's All-Star starting streak remain intact? And is AD gonna make the team?

Segment 3: More on the All-Star voting.
