While there wasn’t any injury reported, sources said that he had some “personal reasons”. There was no further information but Towns’ girlfriend Jordyn Woods left everyone concerned with her two-word cryptic message on her social media. <\/p>
Woods took to X to write, “F*** Cancer”<\/em>. While the context behind the tweet and Towns’ absence remains unknown, Woods has had a deep connection with cancer. She lost her father John Woods to the fatal disease two weeks after his diagnosis. <\/p>
