FedEx Forum, home of the Memphis Grizzlies, was evacuated Monday afternoon, about two hours before the Grizzlies hosted the Dallas Mavericks.
The evacuation did not last long, and was attributed to a false alarm, according to the Memphis Commercial Appeal's Chris Herrington.
Both teams shared a bus during the evacuation, according to Mavs.com's Earl Sneed.
