BRIEF: Fans sport colorful jackets in support of #SagerStrong

March 29--Basketball fans of all stripes are showing their support for basketball analyst Craig Sager, one jacket at a time.

Fans have rallied around the broadcaster, who revealed last week that his cancer had returned, by wearing the kind of colorful sports jackets Sager's known for and posting the pictures to social media with the hashtag #SagerStrong. Sager was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia two years ago.

Supporters also are asking people to donate to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

The NBA community created a groundswell of well-wishes using the same hashtag last year, with former players such as Reggie Miller and Chris Webber and fans donning loud clothes and urging Sager to keep fighting.
