The most notorious of NBA referees is no longer going to be calling Game 6 of the Milwaukee Bucks-Boston Celtics series on Friday night.
Scott Foster was originally scheduled to work Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals series, but the NBA shared on Friday that Foster is out due to an illness.
Foster is nicknamed the “Extender” due to the propensity of trailing teams to win playoff games he officiates. This tendency could have given the Celtics an advantage in the series, as Boston trails 3-2, but Foster is no longer available.
