In a nearly 20-minute video, titled "The Toughest Year of My Life," Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns tearfully speaks about his mother's recent death after a battle with COVID-19.
Towns told Now with Natalie host Natalie Manuel Lee about the moment he knew his mother wasn't going to make it after doctors revealed she had a stroke. He explained, "He was just like, 'She’s gone. She had a stroke during the night and she's gone.' I said, 'Has she taken a step back? What’s the next step?' Because in my mind, I'm just thinking about [next] steps."
Karl then spoke about the family making the decision to take his mother off of life support, stating, "I gave her all the time, and I made the hardest decision you can make. I called my sister, I told her the decision I made was. You’ve got to live with that. I made that decision." You can hear more above.
