It was two weeks ago that an emotional Karl-Anthony Towns took to Instagram to announce his mother was on a respirator and in a medically induced coma as she battled COVID-19.
There was no word of an update on how Towns’ mom, Jacqueline Cruz, had been doing since then until Monday, when John Calipari, Towns’ college coach at Kentucky, said she is still in the hospital.
Calipari held a Facebook Live chat and said he has been getting updates from Towns’ father, Karl Sr., on Cruz’s condition in a New Jersey hospital.
“She’s fighting. She’s there …” Calipari said.
