  • Towns kehilangan ibunda dan enam anggota keluarganya karena infeksi Covid-19.
  • Bahkan, Towns juga terpapar virus Covid-19 dengan gejala berat.

SKOR.id - Sosok Center Minnesota Timberwolves, Karl-Anthony Towns, harus menghadapi masa sulit sepanjang pandemi Covid-19.

Ia harus berjuang melawan pandemi virus ini dengan berbagai kejadian yang menimpa hidupnya.

Pada awal 15 Januari 2021, Towns terkonfirmasi positif Covid-19 dan absen hampir satu bulan dari skuad Minnesota Timberwolves.

Namun, Kisah pilu Karl-Anthony Towns pada pandemi Covid-19 muncul setelah ibundanya, Jacqueline Towns, wafat pada April 2020.

Ayahnya yang juga terinfeksi berhasil pulih, namun Towns mengaku kehilangan enam anggota keluarganya setelahnya.

Hingga akhirnya, Rookie of The Year NBA 2015-2016 ini terinfeksi Covid-19 dengan gejala berat dan membutuhkan waktu cukup lama untuk pulih.

Malam-malam yang menyeramkan

Sejak terkonfirmasi positif Covid-19, Towns mengakui bahwa Ia berada dalam gejala berat dan serius.

"Saya khawatir pada gejala-gejala awal karena betapa seriusnya segalanya," kata Towns dikutip dari USA Today.

"Kondisi vital saya tidak sehat (berdasarkan tes). Saya memiliki banyak kondisi mendasar yang tidak menguntungkan saya secara genetik juga. Jumlah virus yang saya miliki membuat tubuh saya tidak sehat sama sekali."

Towns bahkan menceritakan perjuangannya yang berat dan Ia tahu bahwa yang dirasakannya bukan gejala biasa.

Pasalnya, Karl-Anthony Towns sempat mengaku memiliki kondisi-kondisi tidak menguntungkan meski Ia tidak menjelaskan dengan detil. Biasanya, gejala berat terjadi karena pasien memiliki riwayat penyakit berat.  

"Saya masuk kasus berisiko tinggi," kata Towns. 

“Covid sama sekali tidak memperlakukan saya dengan baik. Banyak malam yang menakutkan."

Kisah lalu berlanjut ke pengalaman-pengalaman pilu yang Towns ceritakan usai pulih.

Suatu malam, Towns yang dirawat mengaku terhubung melalui FaceTime dengan keponakannya dan saudara perempuannya yang merupakan orang tua tunggal. 

Kemudian, Towns berkata, “Aku akan bertarung, Aku akan mengalahkannya (Covid."

Alih-alih merasa senang karena sikap optimisnya, keponakan Towns dan saudarinya. Alasannya? Ibu Towns mengatakan hal yang sama sesaat sebelum Ia meninggal. 

Towns juga mengingat ayahnya terus-menerus meneleponnya karena takut ini akan menandai percakapan terakhir mereka. Towns juga mengalami momen-momen dalam kesendirian dan kesakitan, dengan hanya pikirannya yang menyibukkannya.

Namun kini Towns sudah pulih dan kembali bermain bersama Minnesota Timberwolves. Towns mencetak 18 poin meski Wolves kalah 112-118 dari LA Clippers, Kamis (11/2/2021) pagi WIB.
