During the NBA play-in tournament game on Wednesday night, referee Ben Taylor left the court due to an injury, causing a brief delay in the match between the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Clippers. Taylor exited with 8:51 remaining in the third quarter and was replaced by Sean Corbin, who is in his 31st season as a referee. At halftime, the ninth-seeded Clippers were leading the tenth-seeded Warriors 61-53. The NBA has a protocol in place to send a fourth alternate referee to every postseason game to manage such situations.
