TNT sideline analyst Craig Sager will be missing from the NBA playoffs this summer as he undergoes treatment for leukemia. Prior to the Mavericks-Spurs game Sunday, the NBA on TNT were introduced in the studio wearing Sager-inspired suits in tribute to their friend.
Sager, who planned to be in San Antonio for Game 1, released a statement Friday.
“My favorite time of year – city to city, round by round, 40 games in 40 nights. A dramatic turn has matched me with acute myeloid leukemia. From the sidelines to being sidelined, 40 veins and 40 electrolytes. Too bad, I had some probing questions for (San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich).”
Sager’s son, Craig Jr., will interview Spurs coach Gregg Popovich at the end of the third quarter.
