    Anyone know why todays game has been delayed an hour now?

    Impossible to find any news, but would like to know the reason and a potential start time.

    I so should still be in bed.

    Associated Press

    MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Nearly 12,000 people had to be evacuated from a Memphis Grizzlies game at the FedEx Forum on Sunday afternoon after a small fire broke out in an elevator shaft, authorities said.

    It was quickly extinguished and fire officials were venting smoke and preparing to let people re-enter the arena at about 3:20 p.m. - nearly 20 minutes after the game against Charlotte was scheduled to begin, said Latina McNeil, spokeswoman for the Memphis Fire Department.

    No one was reported injured, she said.

    The alarm sounded about a minute before game time and fans were told to leave the building, which took about 10 minutes to clear.</div>
