Yes there is a point where I would step in, and that would be as soon as I realized he/she was hurt.

I would get together with my partner at the earliest possible time and ask them if they are OK. I would then tell them that I will do my best to get from baseline to baseline so they can go from T to T. If there are any long switches to be made - let me be the one to run. I would do everything in my power to keep that partner on the court with as little movement as necessary - because I would rather have his/her pair of eyes out there helping me than be some big-shot who tells them to get off the court because they are hurt and can't keep up. That is what would be best for the game.
