Favorite Sideline Reporter Craig Sager Battling Leukemia: Sager Strong Nike Air Force 1 & SagerStrong T-Shirt In Honor of Sager

The favorite sideline reporter Craig Sager has been fighting leukemia. He is best known for his colorful suits. Although the NBA season is about to kick off, Sager won't be able to work as he continues treatment for the leukemia.

The NBA community in support of the favorite sideline reporter has gathered together to raise funds for the SagerStrong Foundation. In order to raise funds to help the foundation, the NBA made use of releasing limited sneakers and T-shirts inspired by Sager's love for bright colors and patterns.

CBS Sports reported that Nike released a limited edition Sager Strong Nike Air Force 1 sneakers, with only 100 pair.
