Karl-Anthony Towns wore a Malik Sealy jersey while entering Target Center for tonight's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Sealy was killed in a car accident in 2000.
He chose the jersey No. 2 as a way pay to respect to his friend Malik Sealy. They were teammates with the Minnesota Timberwolves before Sealy was killed in a car accident in 2000. Twenty-four years later, the tributes are still coming for Sealy within the Timberwolves organization.
"In Malik's first year, we weren't really that close," Garnett told NBA TV in 2016. "One day he asked me to go to dinner and went to dinner and that's where the friendship started." "I identified with Malik because I thought he had a little flare, some swag," Garnett said. "I mimicked that."
