Minnesota Timberwolves President of Basketball Operations and head coach Flip Saunders revealed Tuesday he has been diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma and is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment for what his doctors called a "very treatable and curable form of cancer."
The initial diagnosis came eight weeks ago during an examination by Sheldon Burns, a Timberwolves team doctor. Saunders, 60, immediately started the treatment process with a medical team at Mayo Clinic.
