ESPN anchor Stuart Scott will undergo chemotherapy and other preventative treatments after doctors recently discovered and removed cancerous tissue.
Scott, who anchors SportsCenter, NBA Countdown, and portions of Monday Night Countdown, will attempt to “maintain as normal a work schedule” as possible while undergoing treatment.
He will not be on-air for Sunday’s NBA Countdown pregame show on ABC, which will be hosted by Hannah Storm.
“Once again, I join the fight,” Scott said in an ESPN statement, “and like 3 years ago, I plan to beat this thing.”
Scott announced he would undergo chemotherapy in late 2007, following the removal of cancerous tissue surrounding his appendix.
