“That day changed me as a man,” Karl-Anthony Towns said. “I’m never going to get that innocent young boy back. That’s gone. ... Ever since that day, I feel like the world just made me a little colder.”
Towns spoke openly about his struggles with grief and survivor’s guilt. He was hospitalized with Covid-19 in early 2021, but he pulled through. Hisin April 2020, and during the course of the pandemic, he has lost seven more relatives, including a “close family member” who died last week.
The Minnesota Timberwolves center said that at one point, he and his family were able to transfer his mother to another hospital. However, on the day she was scheduled to be removed from the ventilator, she was. Blood clots are a known complication of Covid-19, with potentially fatal results. Henson referred to the loss of a parent as “a hole that will never be filled,” a description that Towns agreed with.
“My mom was fun. We were like peas in a pod,” Towns continued. “... Before every game, she always had a ritual. She made sure that all the security guards in the whole place knew, when she was at the game, you let her through to the court. ... She’d and just do that, then go back into the stands. ... She always wanted me to know, since I was young, ‘I’m here for you.’”
