HOUSTON -- TNT basketball broadcaster Craig Sager received a rare third bone marrow transplant on Wednesday as he continues his fight against cancer.
"OK, third time's the charm," Sager said moments after the process began.
The 65-year-old Sager has battled acute myeloid leukemia since 2014, and announced in March that he was no longer in remission.
His son, Craig Sager II, was the donor for his first two transplants, which put the elder Sager into remission for close to a year each time. This time, the anonymous 20-year-old donor was considered a perfect match.
Sager's son tweeted Wednesday as his father was undergoing the procedure.
