During the opening week of the NBA season, players and staff from around the league are paying tribute to TNT sideline reporter Craig Sager.

Sager is currently continuing his treatment for cancer in Houston, and while he is unable to work, his spirit is still strong in the hearts and minds of the NBA.

The NBA allowed him to work during the NBA Finals before he began his new treatment, but now that he's out he is receiving support from everywhere.

Coaches are wearing ties and shirts in fashion to what you would see Sager wear, and players are joining in.

Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard wore his Sager Strong gear while conducting an interview with TNT this week.

See Lillard's t-shirt ensemble below showing his tribute to Sager.
