Cancer cannot stop Ernie Johnson

Ernie Johnson, anchor of TNT’s basketball coverage and straight-man extrordinaire (when compared to studio-mates Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith), returns to the booth tonight as TNT kicks off its regular season NBA coverage. Johnson has been away from broadcasting since last NBA season receiving treatment for Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, a form of cancer. We wish him the best in his fight.
