In an interview that will air during Tuesday night's episode of HBO's "Real Sports," TNT announcer Craig Sager reveals that the acute myeloid leukemia he has battled for the last two years is no longer in remission.
In the interview with HBO correspondent Bernard Goldberg, the 64-year-old broadcaster confirms that doctors informed him in February that he was no longer in remission. The veteran sideline reporter, who has become an iconic figure within the NBA world thanks in part to his garish wardrobe and his frequent sparring sessions with San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich (who's one of Sager's most ardent supporters, especially away from the camera), says he's now entering "uncharted waters" in his battle with leukemia, which began in April of 2014 and has included multiple courses of treatment, including chemotherapy.
