James Harden, Craig Sager share hug at Rockets Media Day

Media day is a busy and frantic day for each team in the NBA, but one NBA superstar was able to put aside a minute for one of sports media's most beloved figures.

In the midst of Rockets Media Day, their star guard James Harden took a minute to say hello and give TNT sideline reporter Craig Sager a hug.

Sager, who is know best by NBA fans for his colorful tastes with suit, was originally diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in 2014. After a successful bone marrow transplant, Sager had gone into remission, only to have the leukemia return in March of 2015, a battle in which he is still currently fighting.

Get well soon, Craig. The NBA just isn't the same without you.
