The ongoing search for the Facebook killer in Cleveland has forced the Indiana Pacers to stay put inside their team hotel on Sunday night.

Head coach Nate McMillan confirmed the development, via Michael Singer of USA Today Sports, that they were instructed not to leave the hotel for safety reasons, and that some of their team members, including relatives, who went out were sent security to them to make sure nobody gets harmed.

“We were instructed to stay put because of the situation that was happening last night.”

“Security was on top of that. He sent out the message to stay put. We got security at the hotel to make sure that guys were safe. There might have been a few people that were out, including family members that we made sure we got security to them. Our guy was right on top of that, everybody came out okay, which was the main thing.”
