With recent news about Craig Sager’s deteriorating health, players and personnel around the NBA have shown tremendous support for the long-time sideline reporter.
During Tuesday’s contest between the Golden State Warriors and Washington Wizards, Sager took some time in the fourth quarter to interview Inside the NBA’s Kenny Smith, who was in the stands as a fan of the game to witness the history-making Warriors on their home floor. Along the way, Smith shared a touchy moment with Sager:
WE LOVE YOU! #SagerStrong https://t.co/5lNLscrgBT

Smith wasn’t alone in showing some serious love for Sager, as Stephen Curry also explained how he was inspired by the courage Sager has shown over the past couple of years after the contest:
