Legendary college basketball announcer Dick Vitale shared a diagnosis from his doctor Friday that paves the way for him to appear and speak at the ESPYs on Wednesday.

Vitale's doctor gave a positive update after Vitale received treatment and underwent surgery for lymphoma, noting that the "disease looks resolved" and the "healing looks nearly resolved."

The 83-year-old announced in October that he had been diagnosed with lymphoma, which prevented him from calling men's basketball games for ESPN for much of the 2021-22 season.

Vitale is one of the most famous and recognizable personalities in the history of sports, and to many he is synonymous with men's basketball in much the same way John Madden was with the NFL.
