What happened to Derrick Jones Jr.? Live injury updates for Warriors vs. Clippers on Wednesday 4/15/26

UPDATE: Jones Jr. started the second half.

Clippers forward Derrick Jones Jr. went back to the locker room late in the second quarter during Wednesday’s play-in game against the Warriors.

He was replaced by Kobe Sanders after getting inadvertently kicked by Gui Santos in the right shin. He remained in the game for a bit before getting subbed out.

Before exiting, Jones contributed seven points, one rebound, a block, and a steal in 15 minutes of action. He’s a key defender against Stephen Curry, so his absence would be a big one for the Clippers.

If he does not return, Jones would qualify for DraftKings Early Exit.
