And possibly not again.

A post on r/nba links to a live chat with a Timberwolves beat writer. Kinda hard to navigate on mobile but apparently people have gotten tight-lipped about Flip and he's only receiving friends and family visitors. Not expected to resume either coaching or front office duties soon, coaching possibly ever.

Here's hoping he pulls through. He's always seemed like a good guy.

Never got the credit he deserved for building that Pistons team that won the '04 title.

Damn. Owner confirmed yesterday he was out for the year but i didn't hear anything else and was hoping this meant things had improved since it was 'new' info.

Always like Flip.

when I saw this thread had been bumped to the top, I was worried this was going to be the message inside.

That happened fast.

Lymphoma & leukemia can be like that. My family got the call in 2010 when I went into ICU after my first round of chemo at MD Anderson. The friend I made on the transplant floor passed away about 60 days post stem cell transplant. I was caught very off guard because I had just seen him during a follow up the week before. Cancer sucks!
