NBA sideline reporter Craig Sager died Thursday at the age of 65 after a years-long battle with leukemia, ESPN reports. A longtime employee for TNT and TBS, Sager was described by Turner president David Levy as a "true inspiration to us all."
"There will never be another Craig Sager. His incredible talent, tireless work ethic, and commitment to his craft took him all over the world covering sports," Levy said.
