Announcer Craig Sager returns from leukemia to NBA sideline

Announcer Craig Sager is returning to his familiar spot on the NBA sideline after being treated for leukemia. Sager worked the Oklahoma City at Chicago game on Thursday for TNT, 11 months after he was diagnosed with leukemia. “I’m 60 yards shorter off the tee, but I feel good,” Sager said upon his arrival at the United Center. Known for his outlandish outfits, Sager wore a red, black and gray plaid jacket and matching Nike shoes that sparkled in the dark for the occasion. “Bulls colors,” explained Sager, a Northwestern graduate. Sager was honored during a stoppage with 5:56 left in the first and was given a plaid red-and-black jacket by mascot Benny the Bull. Sager, a 34-year Turner veteran, hadn’t worked a game since April 10 in Dallas when he felt ill and sought treatment. – Associated Press
