George Karl undergoes another round of cancer treatment

DENVER — Denver Nuggets coach George Karl will miss tomorrow’s game at Minnesota as he undergoes another round of cancer treatment.

Karl, who has neck and throat cancer, was scheduled for a surgical procedure Monday to have a feeding tube inserted into his stomach.

He will also go through another chemotherapy session today.

Karl was diagnosed last month with cancer and is undergoing a rigorous six-week treatment program of radiation and chemotherapy.

He hopes to be back on the sideline Friday when the Nuggets travel to New Orleans.
