Well-wishers take to Twitter to offer Flip Saunders support
It was already known that Flip Saunders was battling cancer, but the revelation that he experience complications from chemotherapy treatments for his Hodgkin lymphoma and, as a result, would have to step away from the Minnesota Timberwolves for a time, was something of a surprise.
As such, people once again took to Twitter to wish Saunders well, as they did when the cancer was first discovered.
Below is a sampling from some of the notable names, as well as video from the press conference the Wolves held Friday.
Thoughts and prayers continue to go out to @Flip_Saunders and his family. Nice having a former @NBA coach of the year to fall back on.
