Cannot read property 'name' of undefined

I've triple checked everything but I'm getting an error of Cannot read property 'name' of undefined in Scoreboard.js:

        const playerComponents = players.map((player, index) => {
            return (
                <Player
                    index={index}
                    name={player.name}
                    score={player.score}
                    key={player.name}
                    updatePlayerScore={updatePlayerScore}
                    removePlayer={removePlayer}
                />
            )
        });

Any idea what's going wrong, or how I can debug it?

Whoops! Figured it out. I was missing

            return player;

from the player.js reducer on the case of UPDATE_PLAYER_SCORE

That's what I get for listening to Guil at 1.75x speed!

Yeah, ditto -- thanks for posting, Jack Jackson -- I did the exact same thing. You saved me some trouble.
