Minnesota Timberwolves' Karl-Anthony Towns says his mother is in a medically induced coma after displaying symptoms associated with COVID-19.
In an emotional video posted to YouTube and social media Tuesday night, Towns said both of his parents were feeling poorly recently and were tested for. The two-time NBA All-Star said his father, Karl Towns, was released under mandated quarantine, but his mother, Jacqueline Cruz, was admitted to the hospital as her condition “deteriorated daily.”
“She kept getting worse, and the hospital was doing everything they can,” Towns, 24, said in the video."I was doing everything I could. Still am, and she just wasn’t getting better. Her fever was never cutting from 103, maybe go down to 101.9 with the meds, and then immediately spike back up during the night. She was very uncomfortable. Her lungs were getting worse, her cough was getting worse.
