Craig Sager cleared to return to work

Turner Sports sideline reporter Craig Sager has been medically cleared to return to work, according to his son.

Sager Sr. has undergone chemotherapy and received a bone marrow transplant since the leukemia he was initially diagnosed with in April 2014 returned this past March.

The 64-year-old - who vowed to return in time for the start of the 2015-16 season - now seems poised to don his vibrant wardrobe on the sidelines at NBA games once again.

Somewhere, San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich is smiling - but just barely.
