Turner Sports has released a statement from Craig Sager, sharing the sorrowful news that the popular sideline reporter will miss his previously scheduled NCAA Tournament assignments this weekend in Omaha.  Sager recently returned to his job as a sideline reporter for Turner Sports after almost a year away while battling leukemia.

Lewis Johnson will work with the broadcast team of Marv Albert, Chris Webber, and Len Elmore in Omaha while Dana Jacobsen will now serve as the reporter for the team of Brian Anderson and Steve Smith.

All the best to Sager and hopefully we’ll see him on the sidelines for the Sweet 16 and Elite 8.
