Lizzo once hit on Karl-Anthony Towns while sitting courtside at Timberwolves-Lakers game

Over the years, pop artist Lizzo has been a courtside celebrity at NBA games. On one occasion, she even tested her luck with one of the stars in the game.

Back in 2019, Lizzo was on the floor at Staples Center to see the LA Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves. Throughout the course of the game, one of the key players on the court ended up catching her eye. That being All-Star big man Karl-Anthony Towns. She later went to say that she was personally cheering for the T-Wolves big man that night.

"Let me tell you something, both teams look great, I'm personally cheering for number 32," she said. "That's my baby."

When asked if she knew Towns, the record-selling artists jokingly laughed and said no.

Later in the night, Minnesota's social media team showed her some love after she spoke highly of their star player.

Unfortunately for the Timberwolves, this celebrity bump wasn't enough for them that night. They ended up losing to LeBron James and the LA Lakers by 20 points.

Towns might have been single at the time, but that changed not long after. The former No. 1 pick is now dating model Jordyn Woods. Back in May, the couple celebrated their third anniverary together.

Aside from shooting her shot with Karl-Anthony Towns, Lizzo made waves for other things while sitting courtside at Staples Center. She was in headlines the next day for her outfit of choice that evening.
