Craig Sager's leukemia is no longer in remission and has been given a dire diagnosis by his doctors.

Sager revealed to HBO's Real Sports that doctors told him last month the cancer had returned, and gave him “3-6 months” diagnosis to live.

“I’ve already had two stem cell transplants. Very rarely does somebody have a third,” Sager told HBO. “So I have to maintain my strength, so I can go through this.”

“...I’m not going to be that 3–6 months. I‘m going to be that five years. I’m going to make medical history. ... I’m fighting this thing to the end. I have too much to do.”

Sager, 64, was first diagnosed with leukemia in April 2014 and the disease returned in March 2015, forcing him to take the rest of the season off.

Read that last line again. One more time.

Poor Sager.  You always worry about this after the good news he got a couple years back.  Cancer's in remission until it isn't.  At least he's wealthy enough to pursue top of the line treatment.  Best of luck Sages, we're all rooting for you.

I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

Some of my favorite KG moments ever have involved Craig Sager's suits.
