Hopefully he'll stay cancer-free and remain on the bench the whole season. Good to have you back in the league, George.
Good to see Karl back, wish him the best of health.
Season brings fresh start for Nuggets coach
By Marc J. Spears
When Denver Nuggets coach George Karl walks onto the court Wednesday night, he’ll welcome another NBA season and try to further distance himself from his most recent fight with cancer.
Karl has not coached a regular season game since March 16. He missed the last month of the season and the Nuggets’ first-round playoff loss to the Utah Jazz while battling throat and neck cancer. Wednesday’s season opener against the Jazz, he hopes, will finally bring some sense of normalcy.
“I’ve already received so much meaningful bonding because of this experience,” Karl said, his voice still scratchy from the radiation and chemotherapy treatment. “But that will maybe be the closure of it. That will be the celebration. I don’t know if I’ll cry, but I’m sure I’ll get goose bumps.
“I’m sure it will be a memorable evening. But the most memorable thing for me as a compe or is making sure we kick Utah’s butt.”
