Jordyn Woods was at the Ball Arena on Sunday night to support long-time boyfriend Karl-Anthony Towns, who was tasked to defend three-time MVP Nikola Jokic. KAT and the Minnesota Timberwolves faced the defending champions Denver Nuggets in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals.
In her Instagram stories, Woods said goodbye to Denver after the Timberwolves came from behind to eliminate the champs 98-90. The social media influencer and entrepreneur shared an image about the lack of oxygen in altitude, which is what Denver is known for in sports.
Woods captioned it:
"Goodbye Denver."

Jordyn Woods has been very supportive of Karl-Anthony Towns throughout his career, but it's on another level when it's the playoffs. Woods made the trip to enemy territory in Denver to inspire Towns on the sidelines. She was joined by several fellow Minnesota Timberwolves players' significant others.
The couple has been together since making their relationship public in July 2020. Woods helped Towns during the COVID-19 pandemic where he lost several family members, including his mother.
"A woman that meant so much to me in my life left my life to be replaced by another woman to take that spot. We were best friends. … When my mom passed she was like, 'I'm not going to leave you alone. I'm going to make sure you know who you're supposed to be with.’
"I leaned on her because she's one of the only people who would actually know how I was feeling and what I was going through because she was super close with her father just like I was super close with my mother," Towns said back in 2021 on 'Peace of Mind with Taraji.'
Karl-Anthony Towns scores 23 in front of Jordyn Woods
Karl-Anthony Towns played inspired basketball in front of Jordyn Woods in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals. Towns led the Minnesota Timberwolves with 23 points and 12 rebounds in their 98-90 victory over the defending champions Denver Nuggets.
Towns also played great defense on Nikola Jokic along with Naz Reid and Rudy Gobert in an all-out team effort. Jokic might have dropped 34 points, 19 rebounds and seven assists, but the trio made him work hard, leaving him exhausted toward the end of the game.
Anthony Edwards only had 16 points on 24 shots but was vital in slowing down Jamal Murray in the second half. Jaden McDaniels was huge on offense, finishing with 23 points and six boards.
The Timberwolves will be back at home for Games 1 and 2 of the Western Conference finals against the Dallas Mavericks. Woods and other Timberwolves players' partners will likely be in attendance for support.
