The popular NBA sideline reporter known for his outlandish fashion sense returned to TV weeks ago after a year-long bout with leukemia. Like he’s done to all of societal rules about sport coats, Sager will again attempt to defy cancer. Sager was unable to work during NCAA Tournament broadcasts due to health concerns.

Sager Jr. expressed optimism in his announcement, saying there is a blueprint in place now to fight and beat the disease once again. The sports media world and basketball fans everywhere are all rooting for Sager as he fights courageously again.
