SAN ANTONIO – TNT’s Craig Sager is one of the most well-respected sideline reporters in sports. Known for his colorful suits and ties, Sager, 64, has also been lauded for his public battle with leukemia over the last two years.
He was first diagnosed with the disease in April of 2014 and it returned in March 2015, forcing Sager to miss the rest of the season. Sager returned to the sidelines this season, but in March, Sager was informed by doctors that his leukemia was no longer in remission and that he had a “3-6 month” diagnosis to live.
