Last week, Minnesota Timber Wolfstar Carl Anthony Towns spoke with the group of reporters for the first time since his mother passed away in April.

And he revealed that he's lost even more loved ones since then.

I've seen a lot of coffins in the last seven months, eight months. I'm the one looking for answers still.

Today, the athletics John Kricinski on Carly Anthony Towns' painful journey and how the 25-year-old is trying to move forward.

And he comes out of the gates, just has an incredible start to the season.

Towns, waste no time, the catapas is LC-3 and match you right back, Kyrie.

16 in the fourth for Towns.

It's a team that finished 19 and 45.
