Jordyn Woods’ Cryptic Tweet Sparks Concern Amid Karl-Anthony Towns’ Absence

NEW YORK, NY — Jordyn Woods posted a cryptic message on social media Tuesday, coinciding with her boyfriend Karl-Anthony Towns‘ absence from the Knicks game against the Golden State Warriors due to ‘personal reasons.’

The 25-year-old model shared her post on X, declaring, ‘F*** Cancer,’ without any additional context. Woods has a personal connection to the disease; her father died from cancer when she was 19 years old.

The tweet sparked concern among fans and friends alike. Knicks guard Jalen Brunson commented, ‘Oh no,’ while another fan responded with support: ‘Agree,’ accompanied by blue and orange heart emojis. The official NBA New York Basketball account also chimed in, saying, ‘All the best,’ and another fan added, ‘Sending you and the family prayers.’

The Independent reached out for comments from representatives for both Woods and Towns but has not yet received a response. Woods’ tweet followed the Knicks’ disappointing 12-point loss to the Warriors.

When asked about Towns’ availability for the upcoming games against the Los Angeles Lakers, Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau stated, ‘I can’t answer that. I just don’t know. When he’s ready to come back, obviously we want him back, but he just needs some time right now.’

This season, Towns is averaging 24.5 points, 13.4 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game. The 27-year-old forward has been in a relationship with Woods since May 2020, and the couple has shared their journey publicly. In a 2021 interview on Woods’ platform, Towns discussed how their relationship evolved from friendship to romance.

Woods has been an outspoken supporter of Towns, celebrating his achievements throughout his career. After the Timberwolves advanced to the Western Conference Finals in May 2024, she expressed her pride in a post that read, ‘Western Conference Finals!!! Are you kidding me!?!? Couldn’t be happier for this team and most importantly Karl.’ She added, ‘He has overcome so much adversity to get to the point in his career.’

As fans and followers await updates on both Woods and Towns, the hope is for effective communication and support during these challenging times.
