NBA Referee Scott Foster Injured in Game 2

Veteran NBA referee Scott Foster suffered a bloody nose after being accidentally struck in the face by Oklahoma City Thunder's Luguentz Dort and was also inadvertently kicked in the stomach by Timberwolves forward Julius Randle during a jump ball early in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals. The incident occurred just 90 seconds into the game, causing a brief pause while Foster received medical attention. Despite the injuries, Foster returned to officiate the game without missing further action. The event attracted jokes and commentary from analysts, including ESPN's Steve Javie, and drew attention on social media.
