“I know it’s not good to eat, but it’s a memento as one of the last things she gave me,” Towns said. “Birthdays and stuff like that haven’t been really special to me, because she was the one who made it really special for me”. He added that his mother amped him up to have a birthday. However, he admitted that Woods did an amazing job ‘filling her shows’ and making his birthday special.

Towns also added that even holidays can never be the same for him now. Now, all he wants is some time to reflect on her.

Despite what has happened, Towns knows he has a lot to be happy about. “There are a lot of things that can go wrong, but I’m just worried about the good that can come out. I don’t think it’s fully back. It’s waves. It’s a bunch of waves. I am on a good wave right now where I am feeling positive”.

Will the Wolves play the playoffs?

With the way their season is shaping up, the Timberwolves might be headed to the NBA postseason for the first time since the 2017-18 season. They were recently on a five-game winning streak, losing one game to the Charlotte Hornets (133-115). They seem to have bounced back soon enough, winning back-to-back games against the Philadelphia 76ers (121-120) and Indiana Pacers (100-98).

Towns is leading the team with 23.5 points per game average.

Placed seventh in the Western Conference with an 11-10 win-loss record, the team will be facing the Washington Wizards next on December 1.
