The NBA issued its second correction of the week Friday, after bettors spotted a stat-keeping omission in Thursday’s Minnesota Timberwolves-Golden State Warriors game.
Several bettors posted screenshots on social media of wagers on over 0.5 steals for Edwards against the Warriors and questioned a play early in the first quarter. On the play, Edwards intercepted a pass from Golden State’s Stephen Curry, who was being pressured by Karl Anthony-Towns near the sideline. Anthony-Towns was initially credited with the steal. On Friday, the NBA took away a steal from Anthony-Towns and credited it to Edwards.
It’s the second time this week the NBA issued a correction after bettors pointed out a stat-keeping error.
