Some unexpected bad news to pass along this evening, as it is being reported that TNT sideline reporter, and noted fashionista, Craig Sager has been diagnosed with acute leukemia and will begin treatment tomorrow, according to this tweet from Sager’s son, Craig Sager II.

With treatment lasting up to a month, it looks as if Sager will miss the NBA playoffs, which is a damn shame if true.
@MikeSolarte Thanks.We'll be watching lots of basketball together these playoffs. And it's more time for him to brainstorm some new outfits.

All the best to Craig Sager on a quick and full recovery. The playoffs won’t be the same without him and his garish outfits.
