Karl coaches first game from the cancer disclosure

Nuggets coach George Karl was hard enough to fight against Cleveland since his neck and throat cancer being disclosed.

Karl, who revealed the illness on Tuesday, likely will miss some games and practices while undergoing a rigorous six-week treatment program of radiation and chemotherapy. He accompanied his team on its two-game trip to Cleveland and Washington, where the Nuggets play Friday night. “It’s going to be my sanctuary to do what I like to do and forget maybe the things that are always going to pop into your mind,” Karl said of being on the sidelines.

Karl said he expects to miss at least a couple of upcoming games. Karl received an outpouring support from the players with nba jerseys.
