LeBron James says the wildfires that have killed at least 25 people and destroyed thousands of homes have taken a toll on his mental health.
His Los Angeles Lakers had lost three games in a row before their home victory over the Miami Heat on Wednesday night, and James acknowledged the fires had affected him personally. “I have a couple of dear friends that have lost their homes in the Palisades,” James said. “Obviously, my heart goes out to all of the families, all across not only the Palisades, but all across LA county and all the surrounding areas because of the fire. ... It’s been a lot of emotions. Kind of been off. Personally, I’ve been off.
