He does not have an official injury designation.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Darius Garland has gone to the Clippers locker room. He stayed in for a minute after the play but is going back with about 90 seconds left until halftime. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LQtW3tkARi\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/t.co\/LQtW3tkARi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Justin Russo (@FlyByKnite) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FlyByKnite\/status\/2037683490528059575?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">March 28, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Garland played 15 minutes in Friday\u2019s game prior to his trip to the locker room. He scored eight points and dished out four assists in the first half.<\/p>\n<p>If he does not return, Kris Dunn could see additional work at point guard.<\/p>\n<p>The former All-Star struggled with injuries for much of the campaign, but has looked much more like himself following the trade that sent him from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Clippers. Across 11 games for the franchise, he averages 21.1 points and 6.8 assists per game, shooting a blazing 50.6% from the field and 51.2% from deep. While those efficiency marks are almost certain to regress some, he\u2019s been undeniably effective as the lead guard here.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to the conclusion of tonight\u2019s game, the Clippers are 37-36 on the campaign and sit eighth in the Western Conference, just half a game ahead of the Portland Trail Blazers.<\/p>\n<p>This article will be updated as more information becomes available.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"See the latest injury update for Clippers guard Darius Garland, who headed to the locker room early during&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":682614,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3774],"tags":[7,113,126,3866,11606,6,114],"class_list":{"0":"post-683321","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-indiana-pacers","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-indiana","10":"tag-indiana-pacers","11":"tag-indianapacers","12":"tag-injury-report","13":"tag-nba","14":"tag-pacers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116304379698449061","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/683321","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=683321"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/683321\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/682614"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=683321"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=683321"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=683321"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
