The 30-year-old player finished with <strong>16 points, 11 rebounds, and two steals<\/strong>, making six of his 12 field goal attempts, in a game of high physical demand and offensive pace.\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The stellar player&#8217;s act of solidarity has a deep connection with his roots. The son of a Dominican mother, Jacqueline Cruz, Towns maintains a permanent link with the country and has represented the Dominican Republic on international stages, including the <strong>2023 FIBA World Cup<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Karl-Anthony Towns says he&#39;s donating his NBA Cup winnings to Go Ministries in the Dominican Republic <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/8XZEg56vOL\">pic.twitter.com\/8XZEg56vOL<\/a><\/p>&mdash; SNY Knicks (@sny_knicks) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/sny_knicks\/status\/2001163426656129349?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 17, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\nIn 2017, Towns created the <strong>KAT Team Foundation<\/strong>, an organization dedicated to expanding educational opportunities, supporting underprivileged youth, and promoting autism awareness.
