Timberwolves President and Coach Flip Saunders is Fighting Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

Minnesota Timberwolves president of basketball operations and head coach Flip Saunders has had a very busy off season in an attempt to rebuild the team with some very exciting young talent.  Today, he announced that he's been working hard despite being diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

According to StarTribune.com, Saunders has a “treatable and curable form of cancer” and will continue with his duties throughout treatment, which currently includes chemotherapy.

Apparently, the initial diagnosis came eight weeks ago during an examination by Timberwolves doctor Sheldon Burns and Saunders started treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester.

Flip is a competitor and we wish the the absolute best as he wins this fight.
