In his team's final seeding game before the start of the NBA playoffs, Heat forward Derrick Jones Jr. exited Friday's game against the Pacers in the fourth quarter with an apparent neck injury.

Jones collided with Pacers center Goga Bitadze while trying to elude a screen. He laid on the ground for several minutes while being attended to by medical staff before being taken off the court on a stretcher. He was able to move his extremities during this time.
The Heat and Pacers were already locked in to a first-round playoff matchup, so Friday's game had no impact on the final standings.
