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.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
