The impact of the LA wildfires has shaken not just the NBA community but the entire world. JJ Redick lost his family home in the Pacific Palisades Fire. Even Steve Kerr’s mother lost her home and current Clippers star Kwahi Leonard returned home to support his family. Nearly 200,000 residents of Los Angeles needed to be evacuated. Not just homes, but several churches and schools are also affected, and studying in one of those schools is Kevin Garnett’s daughter.
That is why the Celtics legend added a message on his Instagram story. “Thx you all four concerns and love!!! We are good..ishh is a movie!! Can’t make this up real talk 
.” He also thanked his friends and family for checking up on his daughter. “THX U TOO ALL MY FRIENDS N FAM CHECKING ON the kid 
.” His eldest daughter, Kapri, studies at Viewpoint High, situated in Calabasas, California.
Accuweather’s Jonathan Porter termed it to be “the worst wildfire in modern California history based on the number of structures burned and economic loss.” That is why the former champion urged people to help others during the rough times. “If you can help someone help em…life’s short frfr 
RESPECT .”
KG ended his message with one word and three emojis. “Love .” In another story, the 2004 MVP also thanked the firefighters for being on the front line. Who prevented the possibility of a greater burden and saved thousands of lives. “Want to THANK ALL OF THE FIRE FIGHTERS THAT WAS ON THE FRONT LINE OF IT..RESPECT ” Thanks to their efforts, his daughter and many other families across the area are safe.
Not just Kevin Garnett, other NBA stars share their grief
While it seems KG suggests his daughter, Kapri, is way from the danger. But there are people who faced a major loss. The head coach for the Los Angeles Lakers admitted “Our home is gone.” JJ Redick recalled visiting his house via a different route, but even he couldn’t believe the disaster The Pacific Palisades wildfire caused. Similarly, another resident and current player, Kawhi Leonard, went home to take care of the family.
Leonard purchased his Palisades home in 2021 upon joining the Los Angeles Clippers. During the news of the family’s evacuation, he missed the game against the Nuggets as he flew back home. “Going back, checking on his family and kids, making sure they’re well. And he got back, and they’re doing okay, so just happy and thankful for that.” Coach Ty Lue supported this decision and informed the media about the positive update about the Leonard family.
The league also donated $1 million as immediate relief funds, but only 13% of the fires have been contained thus far, according to the BBC. Few, like Kevin Garnett and Kawhi Leonard, were able to keep their family members safe. But some lost everything. The immediate hope is to provide as much relief as possible to those deeply affected.
