Craig Sager had some business to tend to before broadcasting his first NBA Finals game, as the reporter FaceTimed in Cleveland with University of Pittsburgh running back James Conner, a recent cancer survivor.
Sager, working as he faces a recurrence of the leukemia he has battled for the past few years, spent about a minute with Conner, the 2014 ACC player of the year who was recently declared cancer-free after being diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma on Thanksgiving Day 2015.
