Utah Jazz swingman Gordon Hayward was forced to leave Sunday's Game 4 against the Los Angeles Clippers because of food poisoning, the team announced.

Hayward finished with just three points and two rebounds in nine minutes of action. The 27-year-old was coming off of a career performance, collecting 40 points, nine rebounds, four assists, and two blocks in Utah's Game 3 loss.

Joe Johnson and Rodney Hood saw plenty of court time during the second half of Sunday's contest with Hayward ruled out.
