The Pacers training staff wanted to make sure there were no other accidents involving fire extinguishers in Florida.
With Indiana playing Game 3 of their opening-round series in Orlando on Wednesday night, team staff put masking tape and a “Please do not hit” tag on the fire extinguisher leading to the team’s locker room.
The joke comes days after Knicks forward Amar’e Stoudemire punched a fire extinguisher after a loss in Miami that sidelined him for last night’s Game 3 and potentially the rest of that series.
Former Pacers forward and current FOX Sports Indiana analyst Austin Croshere took a photo of it and posted it on his Twitter account.
