Dick Vitale Announces Great Health News: Sports World Reacts

April 14, 2022 by The Spun

Dick Vitale celebrating with fans.

On Thursday afternoon, Dick Vitale had an excellent update regarding his battle with cancer. The ESPN college basketball analyst has been cleared to “ring the bell.”

“Just rec’d GREAT NEWS vs Lymphoma from Dr. Brown / he said that after analyzing by bloodwork that I’m clear to RING THE BELL. This is MY @MarchMadnessMBB CHAMPIONSHIP. THANKS to my medical TEAM @SMHCS & Dr Brown @espn STAFF + my family & everyone that has sent me,” Vitale tweeted.

Vitale was diagnosed with lymphoma last fall. Thankfully, he won this fight.

As you’d expect, the sports world is thrilled to hear that Vitale has been cleared to ring the bell.

“Awesome baby,” Nikki McCray said.
