The Minnesota star made the announcement in an emotional video posted to his Instagram page late Tuesday night. He said that his mother's condition has "deteriorated" daily and she has been in the hospital for the past week after he urged her to see medical help.
"She just wasn't getting better," Towns said. "Her fever was never cutting from 103, maybe go down to 101.
