As Craig Sager continues his fight against leukemia, the NBA community continues its outpouring of support. During last night’s Chicago Bulls-Miami Heat game, a video played on the American Airlines Arena scoreboard to show Craig that he’s in their thoughts. It was quite touching:

After the video, the Bernie the Heat mascot gave Sager a hug.

It’s great to see the support for Sager as he goes through this latest bout with the disease. And as he makes his way around the NBA as he also undergoes aggressive treatment to get rid of leukemia once and for all, fans, players, coaches and broadcasters alike are rooting for him.
