TNT’s NBA sideline reporter Craig Sager remains sidelined to start the 2016-17 season as he continues his fight against cancer.

Here is Popovich. David Aldridge, who is filling in for Sager, also got in on the action.
The ties are clearly related to the suit Sager wore during ESPN's ESPY awards, during which Sager gave a moving speech about appreciating time while fighting cancer.
The Warriors even gave out #SagerStrong t-shirts to the fans at Oracle Arena in Oakland.
This is related to the t-shirt that can be ordered to support cancer research.
