Coaches across the league will adorn lapels with Flip's name in honor of the longtime Timberwolves, Detroit Pistons, and Washington Wizards bench boss, who lost his life after a battle with Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Saunders amassed a record of 654-594 across a 17-year career as head coach, including 11 postseason appearances.
