Sager continues to make monthly trips to Houston throughout the season, and was healthy enough to resume his responsibilities at the NBA's annual All- Star Weekend in Toronto, but his status took a turn last month.
Sager plans to continue carrying out his NBA responsibilities and maintaining his presence on "NBA on TNT." During an interview with HBO, Sager said, "Still kicking, still fighting. I haven't won the battle. It's not over yet. But I haven't lost it, either. There have been some victories and some setbacks, but I still have to fight it. A lot of work to do." Unfortunately, doctors told him that he had 3- to- 6 moths to live. Sager also said, "I think my demise has been prematurely reported. I think I'm going to kick this and make medical history and I really believe that."
Everyone around the world and people in the NBA are standing behind Craig Sager during this difficult time. He is a great role model, showing people to never give up!
