Overview
- Referee Ben Taylor left the court in the third quarter with an apparent injury, stopping the Warriors–Clippers Play-In game.
- Play paused for about three minutes as alternate official Sean Corbin took the floor to replace Taylor.
- Corbin is a veteran with 33 seasons and 104 postseason games, though the Amazon broadcast questioned whether he had time to warm up.
- Right after the delay, Kristaps Porzingis missed two free throws, and cameras and analysts noted visible confusion among players.
- The game continued with the Clippers leading 89–83 after the third, and there was no immediate update on Taylor’s condition as such in-game referee exits remain rare.
