LeBron James flirted with a triple-double on Tuesday night as the Los Angeles Lakers battled the Dallas Mavericks on the road — while trouble brewed back home in California.
While emergency workers struggled mightily to control wildfires blazing just outside of Los Angeles, James scored 18 points — two of them on a ferocious dunk — and hauled in 10 rebounds while dishing out eight assists as the Lakers suffered a 118-97 loss to the Mavericks. But it was clear that many of the Lakers’ players and coaches had their minds elsewhere as devastating fires raged outside LA.
LeBron ends his social media “hiatus”
Back on Nov. 20, James announced he was taking a break from social media, in response to negativity he saw on Instagram and X/Twitter following the 2024 presidential election in the United States. However, James has since used social media to promote some of his various sponsorships while chiming in on trending sporting events — and on Wednesday, he took to X to reveal that he is praying for the fire victims.
As of Wednesday afternoon, the wildfires just outside of Los Angeles have killed two and forced more than 30,000 people to evacuate. Combined, the flames have swallowed up more than 15,000 acres of land while destroying thousands of businesses — and the LA County Fire Department does not have the requisite personnel to battle the growing fires.

Lakers head coach J.J. Redick offered some insight into the collective mindset of his team’s locker room when he spoke to reporters on Tuesday night, making LeBron‘s six-word social media post all the more appropriate considering the circumstances that few seem able to control.
“Our family, my wife’s family, my wife’s twin sister, they’ve evacuated. I know a lot of people are freaking out right now, including my family,” Redick told the media. “I know a lot of people are scared. So I just want to acknowledge that. Thoughts and prayers for sure, and hope everybody stays safe.”
REVEALED: Director Of ‘Home Alone’ Finally Reveals The Truth About What Kevin McCallister’s Parents Did For A Living And How They Could Afford Their Mansion

Movie enthusiasts have long wondered what Kevin McCallister’s parents from the ‘Home Alone’ films did for a living.
The title and its sequel, ‘Home Alone 2: Lost In New York,’ are two of the most iconic Christmas films ever made and remain popular to this day.
Macaulay Culkin returns to screens as the aforementioned McCallister boy every holiday season, which is why people keep asking what his parents, Peter and Kate, did for work. After all, they lived in a huge house in the Chicago suburbs and could have afforded to travel to France for Christmas.
The house was worth around $1 million in the late 1980s and the first movie launched in 1990. It would probably be worth significantly more in 2024.
Kevin’s parents, Peter and Kate, were played by the late John Heard and Catherine O’Hara, who were both successful in their careers. According to director Chris Columbus, who revealed as much to The Hollywood Reporter, Peter may have worked in advertising, while Kate was a fashion designer.
