On Sunday night, Karl-Anthony Towns sat at the postgame podium — the collar on his black jacket riding high on his shoulders with a colorful diamond necklace glittering — and dissected how he views the new Minneapolis ordinance that will soon require fans at Target Center to provide either proof of COVID-19 vaccine or a negative test taken within 72 hours of game time.
"The city of Minneapolis is doing what they feel is right for the people," Towns said. "The legislation of the government here is supposed to do what's right for the people and they feel that people having the vaccine will make everyone healthier and give everyone a better chance to get through this pandemic with less casualties and problems."
The Timberwolves' 119-99 win over the Warriors on Sunday was one of the last pro games in the city before its COVID-19 vaccine ordinance takes effect for bars and restaurants on Wednesday and for ticketed events on Jan. 26.
