It’s been a pretty rough time for Karl-Anthony Towns lately. Amid his failures with the Timberwolves, the guy lost several family members, including his mother, to COVID-19. He was later diagnosed with the virus himself, and has since missed the team’s last six games with a wrist injury.
Now, as he announced on Instagram, we also have to add another tragedy to his list of grievances: a drunk-driving accident that saw the Minnesota star get hospitalized in the 2020 offseason.
Karl-Anthony Towns revealed on his IG that, during the offseason, he was crashed into by a drunk driver, and was temporarily hospitalized.
Sheesh.

Many are concerned about Towns’ mental health because, really, nobody should have to go through this much in such a short period of time.
The good news now is, he seems to be getting through it well enough, and there has been a huge outpouring of love and support for him since all of this started.
Here’s to hoping for better days ahead…
