An emotional Karl-Anthony Towns revealed after the game that his team, the Minnesota Timberwolves, played against Los Angeles Clippers, the first to play since January 13, who had very difficult moments after contracting covid-19, and “many scary nights. “.
Towns, who played nearly 31 minutes in his first game in nearly a month to score 18 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, explained after the game against the Clippers that “the covid didn’t treat me right, at all. There were many scary nights “when” vital signs were not working properly. “
Difficult situation
Several relatives of the player of Dominican descent, including his mother, have died of the disease. Towns said that because of a range of conditions and genetic predisposition, as well as the high viral load present in his body, he made his situation “very serious.”
Meeting with journalists, Towns tearfully recalled his mother and acknowledged that in the most difficult moments, spent alone in his home, “I trusted my faith in Him.”
The Wolves pivot also referred to people who do not want to use masks to prevent the spread of the disease and recalled that it is a minimal gesture of solidarity, especially when health workers have to wear up to four masks to work
“People complain about wearing the mask. These workers are with dying people wearing four masks and can’t you use one? Don’t be lazy, think of the others, ‘he stated.
Unlike JE
Towns also referred to the NBA’s decision to celebrate the All-Stars game in the traditional way and opposed it.
“Personally I don’t think you need an All-Star, but what do I know. What do I know about Covid? He said sarcastically.
Town acknowledged that “I feel very guilty about the treatment I have received. It should be available to all Americans and everyone. I feel guilty about the resources I had and wish I could extend those resources to as many people as possible. “
