Jenna Schroeder is currently the hottest topic of discussion in the NBA at the moment. She has been one of the prominent referees and has been in the limelight for all the wrong reasons. In the recent game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets, the game went down to the wire. With the Lakers losing by a slim margin, the Rockets picked up a closely fought victory.
Unfortunately, the case was not so simple after all. Replays showed that right before the end of the final quarter, LeBron James signalled for a timeout. However, much to the agony of the Lakers’ fans, the referee in charge, Jenna Schroeder, overlooked the signal and allowed the game to continue. Such a lapse did not sit well with the fans and they immediately lashed out at Schroeder.

And this was not the first instance of Schroeder messing up on the court. Back in December, Schroeder ordered a foul on Joel Embiid after his rash foul on Victor Wembanyama. Enraged by the decision, Embiid confronted the female referee and received widespread backlash for his actions. However, the tables have turned now. And it is Jenna Schroeder who is facing the consequences of a botched-up decision.
