NEW YORK (AP) Between dashing for interviews with coaches and chatting with NBA commissioner Adam Silver, Holly Rowe was back in her element Thursday night. It was a welcome respite for ESPN’s veteran sideline reporter nearly two years after her initial cancer diagnosis.
ESPN has ensured Rowe a spot on those sidelines for years to come with a contract extension – fortunate timing for Rowe, whose cancer has recently recurred and spread.
Rowe told The Associated Press on Thursday that she is again battling cancer, sharing the news hours after ESPN announced it had extended her deal.
