Game 2 of the Western Conference finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and [Minnesota Timberwolves](https://www.si.com/nba/timberwolves-make-unfortunate-bit-nba-history-game-one-loss-thunder) started off with an unexpected casualty as ref Scott Foster suffered an unfortunate injury during a jump ball.
90 seconds into the game, Foster tossed up a jump ball, and Thunder's Lu Dort attempted to win the ball but accidentally made contact with Foster's face on his follow-through.
Here's a video of the play where Foster got injured:
And here's a closer look:
Ouch.
Foster immediately suffered a bloody nose and had to receive some medical help to stop the bleeding. The game was briefly delayed as a result.
Foster's bloody injury led to lots of jokes on social media, with ESPN's rules analyst Steve Javie even cracking a joke at Foster's expense.
"Scott will be razzed on this that he can't take a punch," Javie said, eliciting chuckles from the game's announcers.
Prayers up for Foster to get through the rest of the game unscathed. The Thunder currently lead the series, 1-0.
