Unfortunately Sager was forced to leave his gig because he was diagnosed with leukemia this past April. He was able to leave the hospital in May after treatment, but it still is not known if or when he will be able to return to the sidelines.

In the meantime, Sager made a brief return to television to introduce the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic this week. In the short message, Sager addresses his own diagnosis and the work that is being done thanks to events and organizations like Coaches vs. Cancer.

Check out the video below.

It is great to see Sager make a brief return to television, and we send him continued good wishes in his recovery.
