NBA referee Jenna Schroeder admitted that she 'f****d up' on Monday night after ejecting Sixers big man Andre Drummond - before reversing the call. The veteran center was issued his second technical foul of the game after Victor Wembanyama fell to the floor in the second quarter, with Schroeder believing that the Spurs star was pushed.

However, replays quickly showed that Drummond did not shove Wembanyama, and Schroeder apologized to the Sixers bench for her gaffe as Drummond was reinstated into the game. Wembanyama was also given a technical for flopping. 'I f–ked up! [Wembanyama] gets a technical and I'm sorry about that,' Schroeder could be heard saying to Sixers coach Nick Nurse in a courtside video.

Referees soon reversed the technical call on Wembanyama as well. Crew chief Curtis Blair told a pool reporter after the game that officials 'determined that Drummond stepped on Wembanyama's foot and it was deemed incidental contact.'. Referee Jenna Schroeder apologized for mistakenly ejecting Andre Drummond on Monday.
