Charles Barkley ignores his doctor’s orders to visit Craig Sager in hospital

Charles Barkley did a really awesome thing this week, taking a special trip to Houston to spend time with TNT colleague Craig Sager, who is undergoing his third bone marrow transplant as he continues to fight leukemia.

The Associated Press had the story, shedding light on exactly what the 65-year-old Sager has been dealing with. He’s one of the toughest people in the business. His wife, Stacy has been helping take care of him, but came down with a cold this week and was unable to be at the hospital.

Barkley caught wind of that news.
