Karl-Anthony Towns of the Minnesota Timberwolves has dealt with quite a lot during the COVID-19 pandemic, including the passing of his mother. After purchasing a new car recently, Towns revealed that he honored his mother by having her name embroidered in the interior of the car, as reported by TMZ.

Jordyn Woods, Towns' girlfriend, shared that the star center purchased a new Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600. At the same time, the pictures of the interior of the car show that Towns got the signature of his late mother stitched into the headrests of the seats.
