Craig Sager no longer in remission

TNT announcer, Craig Sager revealed that the acute myeloid leukemia he has battled for the last two years is no longer in remission. This, unfortunately, isn't the first setback Sager has suffered during his fight. Mere weeks after being cleared to resume television work in March of 2015, his leukemia returned, forcing him to step away from his assignments during the 2015 NCAA Tournament and "NBA on TNT" once more. After several more moths of treatment, including a transplant of bone marrow donated by his son, Sager came back for the NBA's 2015-16 Media Day in September.

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!
