Warriors, Spurs Honor TNT's Craig Sager [VIDEO/PHOTO]
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — It wasn't a White Out, a Black Out or a Blue Out at Oracle Arena on Tuesday night. It was a Craig Out.
The Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs honored TNT sideline reporter Craig Sager during their season opener. The Warriors put a white T-shirt on every chair in the arena with a cartoon version of Sager, the beloved reporter who is battling leukemia.
In pregame warmups, several coaches wore brightly colored shirts in a nod to the outlandish suits that Sager is known for wearing to work.
