Before the Sixers faced the Lakers on Friday night, they took a moment to honor the late great Craig Sager.
Sager, the long-time Turner broadcaster known for his colorful suits and insightful sideline interviews, passed away from Leukemia on Thursday. He was 65.
In their first game following his death, the Sixers wore special warmup shirts that highlighted Sager's zestful sartorial elegance and held a moment of silence. Many other teams have worn the shirts over the last few weeks in support of Sager's fight against cancer and even more teams wore them in the last few days the aftermath of death.
Here's a look at the warmup shirts.
