The Timberwolves organization has been hit with a lot of difficult times over its franchise history, obviously including the deaths of fan favorite Malik Sealy caused by a drunken driver in 2000 and of the biggest architect of the franchise in Flip Saunders in 2015.
The Wolves are now dealing with another difficult scenario. This past week, star forward Karl-Anthony Towns revealed both his parents had tested positive for the coronavirus that has shut down sports and most of the world for the immediate future. The 24-year-old said his mother, Jacqueline Cruz, was having trouble breathing and was put in a medically induced coma to fight the illness.
