Craig Sager will always be remembered as one of the country’s best sports correspondents. His long and successful career ended in December 2016, after a battle with cancer.

Sager’s family seemed to be close-knit, as Craig Sager Jr. and Kacy Sager followed in their father’s footsteps with careers in sports reporting. That is why this news is puzzling to fans. We have everything you need to know about Craig Sager’s family, right here.

Craig Sager’s Wife

Craig Sager was married to Stacy Sager at the time of his passing. The two got married in 2001. He was previously married to Lisa Gabel for 22 years.

Stacy Sager is from Arlington Heights, Illinois, and currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia. She is President of the Sager Strong Foundation, which helps raise awareness for leukemia. The two met at the now-closed Jocks & Jills, a bar he owned in Atlanta, after going to an Atlanta Thrashers game with mutual friends.

On the first anniversary of Craig Sager’s death in December 2017, Stacy Sager wrote a moving tribute to her late husband in an article for The Players’ Tribune.

Sager shared how well-prepared her husband was at every game saying, “What a lot of people don’t know is that Craig didn’t have a producer in his ear telling him the questions to ask. He refused to have that. Instead, he was extremely prepared. He had his own notes that he kept on notepads, and he also spent hours and hours before a game planning everything out. To Craig, preparation set you free — the more script you prepared, the more you could go off script.”

Craig Sager’s Kids

From Sager’s marriage to Lisa Gabel, the couple had three kids named Craig Jr., Kacy, and Krista Sager. With Stacy Sager, he had Ryan and Riley Sager.

Craig Sager Jr. shared his father’s passion for sideline reporting. He filled in when Craig Sager battled cancer in 2014 and helped write his book, Living Out Loud. He was also a match for his father’s bone marrow transplant.
