Saunders announced in August that he was being treated for Hodgkin lymphoma. Doctors considered it "very treatable and curable," and Saunders at the time said he planned to remain the Timberwolves' head coach and president of basketball operations. However, he was hospitalized following a setback in September, and it was announced Friday that Saunders would miss the entire 2015-16 season.

Tragic. Only 60. And two months ago the docs described it as very treatable, curable.
Very sad for his family, friends and team.

Very sad, especially if it was a treatable, curable cancer. The media seems to indicate that the chemo did him in.
