Anthony (toe) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Washington, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Anthony will miss his second consecutive contest due to a left big toe sprain, an injury he aggravated in Sunday's 108-103 win over the Cavaliers in his return from a two-game absence. The 24-year-old guard was unable to participate in morning shootaround before being ruled out, so he could miss time beyond Friday. Anthony Black and Cory Joseph will cover most of the minutes at point guard Friday.

Anthony amassed 22 points (8-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, nine assists, three blocks and one steal over 31 minutes during Saturday's 111-109 win over Milwaukee.

Anthony (knee) is available in Thursday's game against the Warriors, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
