A few weeks ago, Craig Sager revealed that the leukemia that he had been battling for the past two years had returned, and this time doctors told him that he only has 3-6 months to live. The outpouring of support for the one-of-a-kind NBA reporter has been tremendous since his sad announcement. The encouragement continued on Tuesday night with NBA sideline reporters everywhere dressing like the incomparable Sager.
Sager’s colleagues dressed in extra flashy and at times gaudy outfits to show support. Under the hashtag #SidelineForSager, NBA reporters posted their flamboyant photos on Twitter.

Last week, it was announced that pins would be sold for $10 to go towards cancer research. Featured on one of the pins is San Antonio Spurs head coach and confidant of Sager, Gregg Popovich.
Keep fighting Craig!
