Oregon athletes send well-wishes after unprecedented fires spread through state originally appeared on NBC Sports Northwest
Thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes and seek shelter as wildfires continue to ravage through West Coast states.
The fast-moving fires in Oregon have led to widespread destruction, power outages and smoky orange skies, prompting Gov. Kate Brown to call the wildfires a “once-in a-generation event.”
As fires rage throughout Oregon and continue to ignite in nearly every corner of the state, many of the area’s prominent athletes and teams are coming together to lend strength and support as the Beaver State experiences conditions unlike anything seen before.
Several Trail Blazers including Anfernee Simons, Jaylen Hoard and Jusuf Nurkic extended their thoughts and well-wishes to Oregon.
Praying for my Oregon family🙏🏾

Falling asleep to fire engines...unreal. My county is currently under level 1 evac notice, with level 2 starting only 8 miles away. Have a go bag, have a plan. Stay safe y’all.
