Karl-Anthony Towns lost a game this week, and it was initially revealed that the game was lost for “personal reasons.”
After rumors circulated, he was a close friend of Towns’ girlfriend, Jordyn Woods, died of breast cancer.
Towns returned to the team two days later after the funeral services, but Draymond Green had apparently heard a different story about why the cities were absent.

The Knicks were hosts of the Golden State Warriors, which include Jimmy Butler, former Towns teammate.
Green said he had listened to cities that they didn’t want to face Butler.
“Some would say he didn’t play because Jimmy was in the building. I don’t know,” Green said in his podcast. “They say that Kat did not play because Jimmy entered the city. You know him and Jimmy had the infamous practice in Minnesota.”
Towns played against Butler earlier this year, when Butler was with the Miami Heat, and fell 44 points.

Towns said it was “one of those moments when I had to be there for my family.” Green was not aware of that until after the 121-119 victory of the Warriors over Brooklyn on Thursday.
“That is unfortunate, I’m sorry to hear that. That stinks,” Green said. “But my comments I made were what I heard was. That is what I heard. So I send my good wishes to him and his family.”
“But,” he added, “the ‘Draymond Green Show with Baron Davis must continue.”

Towns fought on his return to alignment, going 3 of 13 from the floor in Los Angeles with only 12 points. He is averaging double this season.
