An emergency announcement during Ty Lue’s post-game media talk has taken over the internet now. The emergency broadcast team in the arena suddenly instructed everyone to evacuate for reasons unknown at that time. It was later revealed that the reason behind the announcement was not only strange but also hilarious.
Earlier, the Los Angeles Clippers won the matchup against the Charlotte Hornets tonight at the Crypto.com arena. And Coach Lue couldn’t be happier. Their two-game skid without Kawhi Leonard had started to become concerning.

The latest update by the Clippers beat writer, Farbod Esnaashari, has calmed everyone. Apparently, the steam from the hot shower triggered the alarm. As soon as the news that the emergency evacuation announcement had been nothing more than a false alarm, everyone let out the breath they were holding. Even though Ty Lue might have been a tad bit slighted, especially when the reason became known.
Guess it was a false alarm from steam in the locker room shower lmao https://t.co/ipNDBazvhI

LA had been facing the heat when they signed James Harden to the team. The next six-game losing streak didn’t help at all, either. But once the talent-heavy Clippers found a rhythm and footing, the result was a playoff-level team. And Kawhi Leonard was at the forefront of the success.
The “Klaw” had been sidelined due to a hip contusion, and the ‘City of Angels’ was once again without their guardian angel. Tonight marked Kawhi’s third missed game this season, but the Clippers managed to snap the skid early on. Back to the false alarm; it has now become the topic for quite some hilarious reactions.
The false alarm led to “extra hot” comments
The steam from the locker room had given rise to the false alarm. And with such a scenario, the comments that are going to flow in are going to be nothing short of comical. Here’s one to tickle your funny bone,
Who’s taking that extra hot shower bruh

Anyway, everyone’s glad that what could have been something serious just turned out to be nothing more than a fluke. The Clippers will be playing host to the Ja Morant-led Memphis Grizzlies on Friday. Hopefully, the lineup will feature a healthy Kawhi Leonard as well!
