COVID-19 took the lives of six family members of the Towns’ family included his mom. Towns were extremely close to his mom, so playing in his first mother’s day game without her must of felt extremely surreal.

Towns did finish the game with 27 points, nine rebounds, four assists, and two blocks in only 29 minutes as the Timberwolves beat Orlando by 32. That win was definetly for his mom.
