Craig Sager returned to his rightful place courtside in the NBA tonight for the Bulls hosting the Thunder in Chicago. Sager has been sorely missed by NBA players, coaches, and fans alike over the past year as he has been battling cancer.
Craig announced over the all-star break that he felt he was getting close to a return, and tonight the moment has finally arrived. The Bulls organization wasn’t going to miss an opportunity to do it up right. They presented Sager with a Chicago Bulls version of what Sager is most known for….swaggy sports jackets. Check out the presentation at the game (player respect on twitter after the jump).
