KAT Still Has Piece Of His 2019 Birthday Cake Baked By His Late Mother In Freezer

The year 2020 was nothing short of disastrous for Karl-Anthony Towns.

The All-Star has lost his mother and five other family members to Covid-19, and found himself testing positive for the virus. 

Additionally, Towns was hit by a drunk driver in Los Angeles during this past offseason, which even led to him being hospitalized. As you can imagine, the death of his beloved mother has hit hardest.

Towns now told The Undefeated, that he still has a piece of his 2019 birthday cake in the freezer that means the world to him, because it’s one of the last things his mother gave to him before her death.

Per The Undefeated:

Towns told The Undefeated he forgot about his 26th birthdaу on Nov. 15 until he was reminded about it by his girlfriend, Jordyn Woods, who celebrated it with him. The reason why it slipped his mind was because it was his mother who always made his “birthday special.” Towns said he still has a big piece of his last birthday cake that his mother gave him in 2019 in his freezer that means the world to him.

“I know it’s not good to eat, but it’s a memento as one of the last things she gave me,” Towns said. “Birthdaуs and stuff like that haven’t been really special to me, because she was the one who made it really special for me. She was the one who got me amped to have a birthdaу or to have that moment. But my girl did an amazing job of filling her shoes in and making it special.”
