Craig Sager continues to inspire all of his.
Craig Sager has been an inspiration this whole NBA season. He has been working on the sidelines for TNT’s basketball coverage while also being diagnosed with leukemia and a blood clot behind his right ear. With everything going in his personal life, Sager has continued to do his job for TNT, while regularly getting blood transfusions and getting chemotherapy treatments.
Sager’s daughter took to twitter Tuesday night to reveal that her father was in the middle of chemotherapy treatments, and drove all the way to San Antonio from Houston to call game five between the Spurs and the Oklahoma City Thunder.
My dad is in the middle of 8 days of chemo, drove 3.5 hours from HOU to SA to work this game, driving back in the am. Absurd. #SagerStrong

This isn’t the first time Sager didn’t let his health take him away from the job he so dearly loves. His daughter also reported that Sager called a Golden State Warriors game on March 29th, while receiving treatment in Houston.
My dad seriously flew out to California and is about to work this Golden State game. He's a fricken beast. #SagerStrong

Reporter’s early on in the season dawned Sager’s trademark colorful outfits to show support for the #SagerStrong movement. The 44-year veteran has allowed many fans to be inspired by the way he handles himself through adversity. He is working, traveling and spending time with his family. He even said in an interview a while back that he does not complain about his situation and is trying to make medical history.
Craig Sager is a beast, a broadcasting legend, and an inspiration to people who are going through the same situation.
