TNT Reporter Craig Sager on the Cover of 'Sports Illustrated'

In March, TNT sideline reporter Craig Sager revealed his leukemia was no longer in remission in an interview on HBO's Real Sports.

Sager was initially diagnosed in April 2014 and missed part of the 2014-15 NBA season while undergoing treatment.

In this week's Sports Illustrated cover story, Lee Jenkins details Sager's life and career in sports as well as his diagnosis and treatment. Jenkins shares that, through it all, the always-colorful Sager has maintained a positive and grateful outlook.
