Karl-Anthony Towns knows all too well the unpredicability and havoc COVID-19 can wreak.
After losing his mother, Jackie, and several family members to the deadly virus, the Minnesota Timberwolves All-Star was sidelined for the past few weeks following a positive test. As COVID-19 challenged him both physically and mentally, Towns was grateful just to be healthy enough to return to the court after 28 days away on Wednesday night versus the LA Clippers. I know fans and people who play fantasy sports all the time ‘
Want Karl to come back on the court, it’s supposed to be 12 days and he’s on the court!’ but that ain’t how life works, Towns told media via Zoom. Everyone’s case with COVID is totally different. Every human and their underlying conditions are different, and my underlying conditions did not play in my favor at all for COVID.
