Minnesota Timberwolves star center Karl-Anthony Towns received unfortunate news Thursday that he suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee, which will keep him out indefinitely.
But that didn’t stop him from making a difference.
Towns made a $1,500 donation to a Timberwolves fan’s GoFund Me page, which was nearly 25% of the fundraiser’s goal.
“Karl-Anthony Towns, you are an amazing human being,” the fan wrote. “Even on a day that didn’t have the best news for yourself, you took the time to impact and care for me and my family. I’m absolutely speechless and cannot thank you enough.”
