Foster, a veteran official with over 1,000 games under his belt, was unable to continue after sustaining the injury before the fourth quarter.
This led to the game being officiated with only two referees for the final period.
Despite the shortage of officials, the Knicks went on to win the game 116-95. Foster's status moving forward remains unclear, and it's uncertain when he will return to the court.
Foster has been a controversial figure throughout his 29-year career in the NBA, often sparking reactions from both players and fans due to his calls. Many have criticized him, even dubbing him the "worst" referee in the league.
