[maxiep]

For medical reasons. He'll have a presser at 7:00 PM Mountain.

That's my thought exactly.

George Karl is battling cancer again. Story on the mothership should be up shortly. Won't keep him from coaching, but he'll miss some games.

 

[ehizzy3]

damn...what kinda cancer does he have?

 

[Rhal]

I'm hoping it something he can fight and get it over with quickly.

 

[DaRizzle]

what kind did he have before? odds are the same kind

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

damn, sucks, hope he fights through it. I've always liked Karl.

 

[Mamba]

Hope everything is okay with him.

 

[Denny Crane]

I hope it's not serious. Other coaches have missed time (PJax is an obvious one) for health reasons and seem to be fine.

Throat cancer. Word is they caught it early, so his prognosis is good.
