(Reuters) - Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Flip Saunders said on Tuesday he has been diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma, a cancer of the immune system, and is undergoing chemotherapy treatment.
Saunders, 60, said his doctors called his condition a "very treatable and curable form of cancer."
"I am taking it step by step and day by day to understand how to best manage this process," said Saunders, who will continue with his duties as the Timberwolves' head coach and president of basketball operations.
