INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Referee Ben Taylor exited the play-in tournament matchup between the Golden State Warriors and the LA Clippers due to an injury on Wednesday evening.
Taylor walked off the court with a noticeable limp and proceeded up the tunnel behind one basket at Intuit Dome with 8:51 remaining in the third quarter. He was substituted by alternate referee Sean Corbin after a short pause in play.
The NBA assigns a fourth alternate referee to each postseason game to address such circumstances.
