Craig Sager of TNT will join ESPN's NBA Finals broadcast team for Game 6.

Sager will share sideline reporting duties with Doris Burke.

Sager has never worked an NBA Finals broadcast in his career.

“I’d like to thank Turner and ESPN for approaching me with this tremendous opportunity to be part of The Finals broadcast team,” said Sager. “I’ve been watching the series very closely and, while I do not want to distract in any way from the event itself, I look forward to being in the building for what will be an incredibly exciting Game 6. The NBA community is a very special one and this is a great honor.”

On July 13, ESPN will present Sager with the Jimmy V Perseverance Award at The 2016 ESPYS presented by Capital One on ABC. Sager was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2014.
