Flip Saunders has passed away at the age of 60.

Saunders announced in August that he was being treated for Hodgkin lymphoma. Doctors considered it "very treatable and curable," and Saunders at the time said he planned to remain the Timberwolves' head coach and president of basketball operations.

But Saunders was hospitalized following a setback in September, and it was announced Friday that Saunders would miss the entire 2015-16 season.
