Death is difficult for most families. Sometimes complicated family ties can add to the mix. Beloved NBA broadcaster Craig Sager’s family battle has come to light following his two oldest children’s Twitter announcement that the sportscaster’s will shows that he left all of his property to his second wife, Stacy Jo Sager, and excluded the three adult children from his first marriage.
Last week, Craig Sager II tweeted that he was being “taken to court over a will that myself and my sisters are not only 100% excluded from but do not even have any interest in contesting in the first place.” Craig is the son who donated bone marrow in an attempt to save his father’s life.
His older sister, Kacy, issued a statement about the situation the following day. “We knew he left her everything. We knew his original will had been revised to exclude us,” she wrote. “And honestly? We didn’t care…. It sucks so damn hard that, after months without communication, our first ‘contact’ with Stacy was through lawyers and the poor sheriffs who had to waste their time serving us.”
Court records show that Stacy Sager filed a petition to probate Craig Sager’s will in solemn form in November.
Kacy says that she and her sister Krista and brother Craig Sager II were all excluded from the family estate the day after Craig II completed an intense medical procedure called apheresis in an effort to save his father’s life during the spring of 2015.
Kacy also mentioned that Craig II was left with the hospital bills from the procedure. She blames stepmother Stacy for influencing the elder Sager to leave the children of his first marriage out of the estate despite the medical and financial sacrifice made by Craig II.
Sager and his first wife Lisa divorced in December of 2000. Craig met Stacy while he and Lisa were still married, and Stacy was a Chicago Bulls’ cheerleader.
