Karl-Anthony Towns makes his position on Minnesota’s shooting clear
During his time with Minnesota Timberwolvescurrent New York Knicks big man Karl-Anthony Towns was a beloved member of the community. Even though Towns was traded to the Knicks, he still has love for the city where he began his NBA career. And after a couple of recent murders of Minnesota citizens by federal agents, Towns took to social media to say yes convey his thoughts to the situation.
“What is happening in the Twin Cities and the Great North State is heartbreaking to witness. These events have cost lives and shaken families – and we must call for accountability, transparency and protection for all people. This moment requires us to take an honest look at what our values really are. My thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathies are with Renee, Goodtown and Alex,” Pretty wrote.
After the second homicide that occurred on Saturday, the NBA postponed the scheduled game between the Timberwolves and the Golden State Warriors for Sunday. Both Warriors head coach Steve Kerr and Wolves coach Chris Finch made the announcement about the incidents and the overall situation.
Towns is one of the latest NBA players to comment on the situation Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton who appeared on social media as well as to convey his thoughts. Across the way, WNBA star Breanna Stewart gave her statement while participating in Unrivaled this weekend, according to ESPN’s Alexa Phillips.
The rescheduled game for Warriors-Wolves was eventually played, with the Warriors emerging victorious by a score of 111-85. A few weeks ago after Goode’s murder, the Wolves held a moment of silence before their game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
