Minneapolis-St. Paul – The Minnesota Timberwolves issued the following statement regarding Karl-Anthony Towns’ mother Jacqueline Cruz:
“The Timberwolves organization extends its support and prayers to Jackie and the entire Towns family during this difficult time. Jackie is a part of our extended family and we, along with the rest of the NBA and its fans, will fight this battle with the Towns family. We are proud of Karl’s commitment to helping others, most recently with his donation of $100,000 to Mayo Clinic to further testing for COVID-19.
