Minnesota Timberwolves Rumors
Andre Drummond: Praying for you bro! @Karl-Anthony Towns
Karl-Anthont Towns' mom in coma
Minnesota Timberwolves star Karl-Anthony Towns revealed in a video posted to Instagram early Wednesday that his mother, Jacqueline Cruz, is in a medically-induced coma and connected to a ventilator due to COVID-19. Towns said that both his father and mother felt ill, then went to the hospital to get checked out and tested for the novel coronavirus. While his father, Karl Towns Sr., was eventually released from the hospital, Towns’ mother wasn’t allowed to leave as her condition got worse. “Both of (my parents) have gotten (coronavirus) tests. Both of them didn’t get the results for a long time,” Towns said in the Instagram video. “We all assumed my mom had COVID-19 due to the symptoms that she was exhibiting, and she was deteriorating daily.”
Karl-Anthony Towns: WE CAN BEAT THIS, BUT THIS IS SERIOUS AND WE NEED TO TAKE EVERY PRECAUTION. Sharing my story in the hopes that everyone stays at home! We need more equipment and we need to help those medical personnel on the front lines. Thank you to the medical staff who are helping my mom. You are all the true heroes! Praying for all of us at this difficult time.
