The Northwestern women's basketball team said Friday that it won't travel to Los Angeles for games against UCLA and USC next week due to concerns surrounding the ongoing wildfires in the area.
The Wildcats were slated to play the No. 1 Bruins on Sunday and the No. 4 Trojans on Wednesday.
The Big Ten said in a statement that it "is looking into all possible rescheduling options and will share additional information when available."
As of Friday afternoon, seven wildfires were still active throughout the Greater Los Angeles area.
UCLA's Westwood campus and its basketball arena, Pauley Pavilion, sit about 7 miles east of Pacific Palisades, the epicenter of the largest of those fires.
The Pacific Palisades fire had burned through over 21,000 acres and was 8% contained as of Friday afternoon, according to California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
The fires have burned more than 12,000 homes and other structures. At least 11 people have been killed, including five from the Palisades Fire. Roughly 150,000 people remain under evacuation orders.
