Dec 15 (The Sports Xchange) - Turner Sports NBA sideline reporter Craig Sager has died at the age of 65, the network announced Thursday.
Sager waged a public battle with cancer over the past two years after originally being diagnosed with leukemia in 2014.
The cancer went into remission after a bone marrow transplant but returned in March 2015.
Sager, who was always recognizable on TNT's NBA broadcasts by his colorful wardrobe, re-entered the hospital last month.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver announced that teams will be observing a moment of silence in Sager's memory prior to games.
