Longtime Turner Sports broadcaster Craig Sager has died at the age of 65, the network confirmed in a statement.
NBA stars past and present and colleagues from the world of journalism were among those to share condolences upon hearing of his death.
Known for his colorful and distinctive suits during his more than 40-year career, the legendary sideline reporter battled acute myeloid leukemia since he was first diagnosed in 2014.
Sager was admitted back into the hospital in late November 2016.
In a statement, NBA commissioner Adam Silver said teams will observe a moment of silence in Sager's memory.
