NBA Coach Flip Saunders Dies Of Cancer At Age 60

By Aqiyl Aniys | October 25th, 2015 | Modified - October 25th, 2015

Minnesota Timberwolves coach Flip Saunders has passed away from cancer today Sunday, October 25. Saunders notified the public back in August that he had Hodgkin lymphoma and his doctors felt he would be successful in beating the cancer with treatment.

Saunders was confident in their assessment and said he planned to remain with the Minnesota Timberwolves as head coach and president of basketball operations. Unfortunately Saunders suffered a setup in September which forced him to reluctantly announce that he would miss this year’s entire basketball season.

Rest in peace coach!

Forever in my heart….
