Karl-Anthony Towns fired off strong statements against the false information that constantly goes viral on social media, especially on Twitter, during the NBA first round playoff series between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Memphis Grizzlies,
In this case, the Dominican-born star was extremely puzzled and upset after being questioned about an alleged meeting held by the Timberwolves for players only.
According to a report by journalist Dane Moore, Towns denied these rumors and took the opportunity to state that he is not a fan of Twitter for the simple reason that “people make things up all the time.”
The lanky 26-year-old player added that the players simply had a video session and a normal practice last Wednesday.
The insider’s reaction may be a little exaggerated, but he’s absolutely right about the fact that people frequently use Twitter to spread a series of lies that harm the brains of athletes all around the world.
In the end, the Minnesota team lost the series to the Grizzlies in six games. However, we are talking about a franchise that has gradually built a roster capable of beating virtually any team.
What’s wrong with Karl-Anthony Towns?
Despite having the talent of a true superstar, Towns has been a player of quiet character since his arrival in the NBA. The heavy blows he received in recent years on a personal level, though, might be leaving serious consequences in his behavior.
COVID-19 claimed the lives of eight members of the Minnesota star’s family, including his mother. This is an extremely dramatic situation, one that can get on anyone’s nerves.
