It has barely been a complete week since Jordyn Woods relived one of the tragic memories of her life. In some ways for the celebrated model though, it was also healing. She recalled the memories of her loving father John Woods Sr. “For me losing a parent is like having a hole in your heart that never seems to heal,” Karl-Anthony Towns‘ girlfriend wrote in an Instagram tribute to celebrate her father’s memory who passed away from cancer in 2017.
It might all be coming back to her now. There’s been a huge mystery around Karl-Anthony Towns. The New York Knicks aren’t sure whether he will even join them on their road trip due to “personal reasons”. It’s strange because the imposing center has played through a thumb sprain like it didn’t shed any pain.
But in the matters of love and family, time is all that can heal a person. At this time, Jordyn Woods shared a concerning message on her Twitter. “F**k Cancer,” the actress wrote. The details about the same are still unclear. But it has been difficult for the couple to currently deal with the happenings in their life.

However, it’s unimaginable what she and Karl-Anthony Towns must be feeling at the moment if somebody dear is to go through something as devastating all over again. So although Towns is an indispensable player for the Knicks who currently have a thin center rotation, that’s the least of the concern for the fans of the franchise.
“@KarlTowns take your time as long as you like bro I understand,” one comment captured the fans’ understanding of the tough situation. The Knicks center notably lost his mother and several relatives during the pandemic that shook the world. So life hasn’t always been considerate towards Towns.
But with his father, Karl Towns Sr. present for tonight’s Knicks-Warriors game, there is some form of relief. Yet, it doesn’t change the fact that Jordyn Woods and Towns are going through a difficult time. So fans are sticking by them offering their complete support and faith. “Strength and prayers sent” one comment punched the thoughts shared by thousands.
