Karl-Anthony Towns revealed Friday that his life has been hell on Earth since the pandemic began.
Towns was speaking to a group of reporters during the Minnesota Timberwolves’ Zoom media availability when he opened up about losing seven of his family members to COVID-19, including his mother, Jacqueline Cruz, in April.
“I’ve never been in a mentally good place since (his mother) went in the hospital...I wouldn’t say (basketball) is therapy for me at all,” Towns said.
“I’m the one looking for answers to try to keep my family well informed and make all the moves necessary to keep them alive.”
Like many people in this country, Towns is grappling with the pandemic’s human carnage...
In that press conference, Towns briefly touched on his relationship with teammate Ricky Rubio who also dealt with his mother’s unexpected death when she passed away in 2016. Towns said he was there to support Rubio, and now he is dealing with the same loss.
