Karl-Anthony Towns Opens up About his Fight with COVID-19

Karl-Anthony Towns has recently recovered from his own battle with COVID-19, and returned to the NBA courts in Minnesota's Wednesday night loss to the Clippers - logging 18 points and 10 rebounds in 30 minutes. KAT missed 13 straight games due to the virus, and has well-documented troubles concerning COVID-19. After the game, he opened up about the fight for his life.

KAT also provided his thoughts on the All-Star Game, as he can't see a reason why it should be played.

Of course, the NBA is moving forward as if nothing is happening, tweeting about the 2nd round of voting returns. If the NBA and NBPA don't get in line on this particular issue, it could bubble up to a major point of contention.
