TNT reporter Craig Sager made his much-anticipated return to the sidelines for Thursday night's matchup between the Bulls and Thunder following his 11-month battle with cancer.
Before the game, Sager told reporters he's "totally in remission."
Sager's beloved and respected throughout the league as much for his professionalism as his quirky sartorial choices, and players across the association took to Twitter to welcome him back.
