Flip Saunders announced he has been diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma and is currently undergoing chemotherapy for what doctors call a "very treatable and curable form of cancer," the Minnesota Timberwolves announced.
Saunders will continue uninterrupted with his duties with the Timberwolves.
“I am taking it step by step and day by day to understand how to best manage this process,” said Saunders in a statement. “I want to thank Dr. Burns as well as my medical team at Mayo Clinic for their hard work in diagnosing my situation and creating a plan to help me achieve a cancer-free outcome. I am attacking this with the same passion I do everything in my life, knowing this is a serious issue. I also know that God has prepared me to fight this battle.”
