Minnesota Timberwolves Update on Lawsuit Vs. Mascot: No Awkward Situation for Justice's Sake to Injured Dad of Top Rookie Towns
There seems to be no awkwardness at all for justice's sake if the father of top rookie Karl-Anthony Towns Jr. pursues a lawsuit against his the owner of Minnesota Timberwolves. The latest news is not that Karl-Anthony Towns Sr. is contemplating to file a suit. But he seemed to have his fingers crossed to pursue for the negligence of the T'Wolves' mascot Crunch for giving him a serious leg injury two weeks ago during the T'Wolves-Indiana Pacers game.
In a report of New York Post, the father was said to be already "considering filing a lawsuit" against Minnesota Timberwolves but Sports Illustrated's Michael McCann wrote he expected that the issue would be resolved in an out-of-court settlement. A lawsuit by the father could both him and the son in extremely awkward situation as the son is one of the top players of the team. Thus far this year, Karl-Anthony Towns Jr. put up an average of 24.0 points and 12.2 rebounds per game. He is the reigning NBA Rookie of the Year.
There was a big and loud ouch of the 54-year-old father when mascot Crunch accidentally fell down to his right knee during the second quarter of the game last Jan. 26 where the T'wolves lost to Pacers, 109-103. Crunch was making a stunt down a flight of stairs when he went out of balance and crashed into empty row of chairs where Towns Sr. was seated. The mascot of Minnesota Timberwolves was supposed to crash-land on a padded mat.
Towns Sr. continued to watch the game even with a swollen knee with a belief that if he would go home his son's performancefor Minnesota Timberwolves would be affected. Towns Jr. scored 33 points, 10 rebounds, two steals and four assists during the game. But Towns Sr. could no longer put a weigh on his leg after the game. He was given crutches and went to local hospital.
Last Dec. 23, Crunch wearing a Santa Claus outfit was met by social media storm when he sneakily grabbed the video game console PS$ given to a boy at a packed Target Center during a halftime show of the game between Minnesota Timberwolves and the Sacramento Kings. To calm down the storm raging after the humiliation made by the Santa Crunch to the boy, the T'Wolves shortly took to Twitter and made a post with an accompanying photo showing Crunch as not really a Grinch, giving the PS4 console to the boy off-court after the show.
