The NFL, NBA and NHL all have now had games in Southern California affected by the devastating wildfires in the area.

On Thursday, the NFL moved the Los Angeles Rams’ playoff game Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings out of L.A.. and into State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., home of the Arizona Cardinals.

The league announced the decision Thursday after another fire broke out several miles from the Rams’ training complex in the Woodland Hills neighborhood, located about 13 miles north of fire-ravaged Pacific Palisades. While none of the fires were burning near the stadium — which is southwest of downtown Los Angeles — the NFL made the decision amid concerns about air quality and whether the community could handle such an event under the circumstances.

Several major fires were burning in areas of the vast Los Angeles metroplex following two days of extraordinary winds.

At least 180,000 people were under evacuation orders, and the fires have consumed about 45 square miles (117 square kilometers) — roughly the size of San Francisco. The Palisades Fire is already the most destructive in Los Angeles’ history.

The NBA postponed the Los Angeles Lakers’ home game against the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday.

It was the second straight day a game slated to be played in downtown Los Angeles was postponed. The NHL’s Los Angeles Kings were scheduled to host the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night.

Meanwhile, the West Coast Conference postponed women’s basketball games scheduled for Thursday night at Pepperdine and Loyola Marymount.

Women’s soccer

Bay FC adds All-American Huff >> Three-time All-American midfielder Taylor Huff of Florida State signed a three-year contract with an option for 2028 to play for Bay FC.

Huff joins the club on her first professional contract following her selection to the roster for the U.S. Women’s National Team Futures Camp, which takes place in Carson from Jan. 14-21.

Huff joins Bay FC after a standout career at Tennessee and Florida State where she earned All-American honors three times and lifted the 2023 NCAA College Cup. She had 15 goals and 12 assists in 41 games with the Volunteers.

Indoor golf

Bay Area team wins first indoor golf match >> Ludvig Aberg will be the answer to a trivia question: He made the first birdie in TGL history.

And with that, the indoor golf competition that Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy had envisioned for years was finally underway.

TGL had its debut match Tuesday night, with Rickie Fowler, Matt Fitzpatrick and Xander Schauffele of New York Golf Club taking on Shane Lowry, Wyndham Clark and Aberg of The Bay Golf Club in the opener. The 15-hole match took just under two hours, which is exactly how TGL envisioned this to work. Final score: The Bay 9, New York 2.

“The last time I’ve had that much fun was probably last September,” Lowry said, turning toward Clark as he said that — the obvious reference being how he and Aberg were part of the European Ryder Cup team that beat Clark and the United States in the fall of 2023.

Yes, trash talk is part of TGL as well — even among teammates.

The venue is a 250,000-square-foot facility at Palm Beach State College. Players hit some shots into a video screen, some off real grass, some off turf, and the bunkers are not just real sand — it’s sand from Augusta National Golf Club, the same sand Woods has at his home practice facility. It’s super-high-tech, with data collected off every shot.

Men’s basketball

Stojakovic keys Cal’s first ACC win >> Andrej Stojakovic scored 23 points and DJ Campbell scored 11 points as Cal got its first win in the ACC beating Virginia 75-61 on Wednesday night.

Raynaud’s double-double sparks Stanford win >> Maxime Raynaud scored 13 of his 19 points in the second half as Stanford (10-5, 2-2 ACC) overcame a nine-minute first-half scoring drought to edge Virginia Tech 70-59 in the first ACC contest played at Maples Pavilion Wednesday night.

Raynaud was 8 of 17 from the field, hitting 3 of 7 from distance, and snared 14 rebounds to post his 12th double-double.

Ben Burnham had a team-high 18 points for Virginia Tech (6-9, 1-3).
