The NBA has revealed the list of officials for Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Denver Nuggets, and one name has caught everyone’s attention: Scott Foster.
Foster is widely regarded as the worst referee in the league by both players and fans. He has earned the nickname “The Extender” for his perceived habit of making bad calls on purpose in order to extend playoff series. He has also been involved in several controversies and scandals over his 28-season career.
The List of officials for Game 3:
- Scott Foster
- Mark Lindsay
- Bill Kennedy
- Mitchell Ervin
According to The Athletic, Foster was voted the worst referee in the NBA by 25% of 59 anonymous players in a survey conducted in 2023. He also topped a similar poll by the Los Angeles Times in 2022. He has been labeled as a “series extender” by various media outlets and analysts, such as RSN and Sports Illustrated.

NBA Accused of Trying to Fix Lakers-Nuggets Series on Twitter
Foster’s reputation has sparked outrage and suspicion among Twitter users, who believe that the NBA is trying to fix the outcome of Game 3 in favor of the Lakers. The Lakers are down 0-2 in the series after losing both games in Denver. They return home to Crypto.com Arena on Saturday, hoping to avoid a 0-3 hole.
Many Twitter users have expressed their disbelief and frustration at Foster’s assignment, calling it a “most blatant attempt at fixing” and a “joke”. Some have even predicted that Foster will make sure that the Lakers win by any means necessary, such as calling fouls on the Nuggets’ star players or ignoring violations by the Lakers’ star players.
Here are some of the tweets from angry and skeptical fans:
So how will Foster affect Game 3? Will he favor the Lakers or the Nuggets? Will he make good or bad calls? Or will he extend or end the series? The answer is: we don’t know for sure. Foster is not the only referee on the court. He will be joined by Mark Lindsay, Bill Kennedy and Mitchell Ervin, who may have different opinions and judgments than him.
The players’ performance, coaching decisions, injuries, fatigue, momentum and luck will also play a role in deciding who will win or lose. Ultimately, Game 3 will be decided by how well each team plays on both ends of the floor, not by how well or poorly Foster officiates.
