Minnesota Timberwolves star center Karl-Anthony Towns received unfortunate news Thursday that he suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee, which will keep him out indefinitely.

But that didn’t stop him from making a difference.

Towns made a $1,500 donation to a Timberwolves fan’s GoFund Me page, which was nearly 25% of the fundraiser’s goal.

“Karl-Anthony Towns, you are an amazing human being,” the fan wrote. “Even on a day that didn’t have the best news for yourself, you took the time to impact and care for me and my family. I’m absolutely speechless and cannot thank you enough.”

The NBA world celebrated Towns’s caring act:
