Prior to the Minnesota TimberWolves‘ game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday night, one of the key players for the Wolves, D’Angelo Russell escaped a major car accident that could have proven to be fatal. However, thankfully, he was all right. The Wolves guard was also present on the court in the last two games for the Wolves. However, recently the news of his car accident spread through the internet, receiving a lot of comments and reactions from the NBA world.

The Wolves guard met with an accident on his way to the game against the Trail Blazers last Wednesday. As it turns out, his car hit a concrete barrier on a snowy road in Minnesota. Following that, it took out a guardrail. However, thankfully the 26-year-old didn’t suffer any injuries and started the game against the Trail Blazers on the same night.

Though the All-Star didn’t get hurt, his car suffered some damage and needed to be fixed. Therefore, a tow car took it away from the place where the accident occurred.
