Watch: 2 teammates running into each other LeBron James leaves Scott Foster BLEEDING, NBA
The Denver Nuggets have a strong grip over the Los Angeles Lakers as they played Game 3. The Lakers hosted the Nuggets after they lost both away games. Although they had a 7-0 record in the postseason, it was brought to an end by a stunning show from Denver. Jamal Murray continued his usual stellar service as he scored 37 points leading Denver to a 119-108 win.
The Lakers were very well aware of how crucial this game was for them. Although they lost the game, fans saw a valiant defensive effort from LeBron James. However, James also crashed into referee Scott Foster during one play. The Lakers star was running back to take his defensive position when he crashed into the veteran NBA official. Foster then started bleeding from his mouth and soon a medical team was brought in for a checkup. Fortunately, the cut wasn’t serious, while on the other hand, it generated a few laughs from both Foster and James as well fans.
After the initial collision, LeBron James was seen checking up on Scott Foster to see if he was okay. After the official looked fine, Austin Reaves pulled James’ leg by saying “That should be a tech (foul) honestly.” James then replied by saying, “I was already in sprint mode by then,” as Reaves was seen grinning. Even Foster got into the act as he then said, “You’ve been wanting to do that for twenty-five years.” His response generated a lot of laughs on social media as fans went into a frenzy.

— Don A. Williams Jr (@Fella32) May 21, 2023Although this was a light moment in the game, the Lakers are now in trouble in the series. They’ve lost three consecutive games putting Denver just one win away from closing out the series.Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray have been fantastic all season long and the Nuggets are now favorites to walk into the NBA Finals. The Lakers still have an outside chance at reviving the series for themselves. However, with the Nuggets dominating the series so far, many fans believe the Lakers’ season has come to an end.
