The Celtics concluded their final practice before the regular season yesterday with a message.

The team quickly threw on shirts with “Sager Strong” on them in a nod to TNT sideline reporter Craig Sager, who is currently being treated for Leukemia.

The back of the t-shirts, designed to resemble one of the exuberant suits Sager might wear himself, reads: “Time is simply how you live your life.”

“These are Craig Sager,” Isaiah Thomas said of the shirts, after the photos had been taken. “A guy who means a lot to this game of basketball.”

The shirts can be purchased here, and a portion of the proceeds will go to the Sager Strong Foundation.
