LOUISVILLE, Ky (WHAS11) -- A young boy whose life was altered by a single bullet got the surprise of his life.
Ki'Anthony Tyus was shot while playing basketball in Louisville's Smoketown neighborhood on June 8. He has since slowly recovered but his road to a full recovery is still a ways off. His love of basketball however prompted a visit from a very special person.
Tyus was on his way to what he thought was more rehab when he met his favorite basketball player of all time; number one NBA draft pick and former UK player, Karl Anthony Towns. Tyus got to meet Towns at Hoops off of Blankenbaker Parkway.
The 9-year-old was delighted by the surprise, a shining moment in this young boy's life.
