The Golden State Warriors and the Minnesota Timberwolves are supposed to face off for a rematch of last night’s game, but there’s been one complication. Wolves superstar Anthony Edwards, who went off for a game-high 32 points last time, was announced to be missing tonight’s game. Here’s what happened to him, and an update on his status.

Just a few hours before tip-off, Edwards was added to the team’s injury report with a foot condition. Edwards was seen warming up before the game and appeared to be moving well, which might indicate it was a rest day. His official injury designation is “right foot injury maintenance,” referring to the infection on his toe that Edwards is dealing with.

He joins Warriors stars Stephen Curry and Draymond Green on the injury report, who are out with a right knee and back injury respectively, with Warriors head coach Steve Kerr hoping they can be ready for the team’s next game against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday.

This is a developing story.
