“You haven’t watched the NBA in years. Why are you showing up now and spreading this nonsense? What does this even mean? And why involve your father in this,” Casey Sager wrote.
Sager’s message provoked a strong reaction, and he eventually deleted the message.
Recall that Craig Sager Sr. was one of the most famous columnists in the League, he died in 2016.
