Clipper Darrell Still Backing Clippers Despite KO Punch At Game, But Still Ailing

No, Clipper Darrell ain’t on his method to ending up being Celtic Darrell after being punched at a game previously this month … the L.A. superfan informs TMZ Sports he’s still in love with the Clippers — even if he’s still ailing from the knockout blow.

We broke the story … the renowned NBA fan — genuine name Darrell Bailey — was left unconscious after a Crypto.com Arena guard socked him in the face following a conflict at the Clippers’ game versus Boston back on Dec. 12.

Darrell informed us at the time he was left in a load of discomfort — and he in fact needed to be required to a close-by health center for treatment.

Many questioned if the scenario would sour his sensations on Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and the rest of the people on the wood — but the 55-year-old informed us today he ain’t going anywhere … even if the experience he had with the arena staffer was terrible.

“I look forward to returning to Crypto.com Arena to root for my 2023 NBA Championship Clippers!” he stated. “Let’s Go Clippers Let’s Go!!!”

Darrell did include he’s still harming from the punch — stating he’s continuing to get healthcare for his conditions. But, he did seem in much better spirits.

“What happened that night came as a complete shock, and it left me heartbroken,” he stated. “I’m still dealing with the emotional and physical aftermath of being assaulted and knocked unconscious by the AEG security guard. I’d like to thank the fans, athletes, the Clippers organization, and AEG for their love and support and for reaching out to me to check on my health and well-being.”

“I’d ask that my privacy be respected while I continue treatment for my injuries.”
