Warriors head coach Steve Kerr offered some touching words about the late Craig Sager ahead of Thursday’s game against the Knicks.
Kerr, who once worked alongside Sager at TNT, took the microphone at midcourt and remembered Sager, who died on Thursday at age 65 after a long battle with leukemia. The Warriors–Knicks game was broadcast as the second part of TNT’s doubleheader.
Rather than a moment of silence, Kerr and the teams chose to instead have a “moment of joy” to remember Sager’s life, leading to a long ovation from all present at Oracle Arena.
Watch the moment below.
