Craig Sager, colorful Turner Sports reporter, dies at 65
He was not on the list.
The suits and ties were so loud, at times they were
screaming. But Craig Sager wore them so well.
Sager, the longtime Turner Sports sideline reporter best
known for his colorful -- and at times fluorescent -- wardrobe, has passed away
after battling acute myeloid leukemia. He was 65.
Sager died Thursday, just days after he was inducted into
the Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame.
He is survived by his wife, Stacy, and five children: Kacy, Craig
Jr., Krista, Riley and Ryan.
"Craig Sager was a beloved member of the Turner family
for more than three decades and he has been a true inspiration to all of us.
There will never be another Craig Sager. His incredible talent, tireless work
ethic and commitment to his craft took him all over the world covering
sports," Turner President David Levy said in a statement.
"While he will be remembered fondly for his colorful
attire and the TNT sideline interviews he conducted with NBA coaches and
players, it's the determination, grace and will to live he displayed during his
battle with cancer that will be his lasting impact. Our thoughts and prayers
are with Craig's wife, Stacy, and the entire Sager family during this difficult
time. We will forever be Sager Strong.
