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

The Knicks welcomed the Golden State Warriors, including Jimmy Butler, the former Towns teammate.
Green said he had heard that the cities did not want to face Butler.
“Some would say that he did not play because Jimmy was in the building. I did not know,” Green said on his podcast. “They say Kat did not play because Jimmy came in town. You know him and Jimmy had the sad practice in Minnesota.”
Towns played against Butler earlier this year, when Butler was with Miami Heat, and dropped 44 points.

Towns said it was “one of those moments when I had to be there for my family”. Green was aware of it until after the Warriors 121-119 victory over Brooklyn on Thursday.
“It’s unfortunate, I’m sorry to hear that. It sucks,” said Green. “But my comments that I made were what I heard, that’s this. This is what I heard. So I send him my good wishes to him and his family.”
“But”, he added, “the” Draymond Green Show with Baron Davis must continue. “”
