The Importance of Karl-Anthony Towns Has Never Been More Evident

miss watching Karl-Anthony Towns play basketball and you probably do, too. Towns has played all of 39 games between this and last season because of suspension, injury or illness. To be clear, there is no faulting Towns for missing games for injury or illness. This is just to say the NBA is a better place when Towns is on the floor.

The fact Towns is playing for the Minnesota Timberwolves at all this season is truly remarkable. Going back to work after the death of any family member is difficult and Towns has tragically lost several loved ones to COVID-19.
