This is just a terrible situation, and it’s the latest example of coronavirus impacting lives in a horrific fashion.

It’s crazy that two months ago everything seemed normal, and now lives are falling apart. We know Towns’ mother was in bad shape by the end of March when he publicly announced it.

Now, a few weeks later, she’s passed away.

Hopefully, we’re able to get this situation under control before more people pass away from the crisis ravaging America.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Towns, his family and the entire Timberwolves organization during this horrible time.

Together, we’ll get through this and to the other side.
