NBA referee Tony Brothers to officiate Game 6 between Bucks and Pacers

The Milwaukee Bucks and the Indiana Pacers are set to face each other for Game 6 on Thursday. While it will be an elimination game for the Bucks, they are playing without their superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. Damian Lillard who has missed the last two games for the Bucks is also doubtful for Game 6.

With two teams playing against the high-stakes game, Tony Brothers has been assigned the crew chief assignment. He is one of the longest-serving NBA referees in the NBA and has officiated well over 180 playoff games in almost 30 years in the league, which also includes 16 NBA Finals games.

The game is set to be high in competition and Brothers is set to have a tough time on the court. However, there is no doubt that he is one of the most suited NBA referees for the high-stakes game.
