Marney Gellner, the popular local television broadcaster for Minnesota Timberwolves, Lynx and Twins games, has announced she’s battling cancer.
Tuesday morning, Gellner posted the news on social media with a message urging women to regularly schedule mammograms.
She also noted her cancer was detected early, thanks in large part to her mammogram, and she’s planning to have a lumpectomy followed by three weeks of radiation.
Thankfully, it was detected very early and my treatment plan is to have a lumpectomy, followed by 3 weeks of radiation. I am SO thankful and blessed to have this option

“I am SO thankful and blessed to have this option,” Gellner wrote on social media. “Without early detection, I would be going down a much different road.”
Gellner has been a beloved media personality since her time as a sideline reporter for Twins and Timberwolves games and her work as the play-by-play announcer for the Lynx. Near the end of 2021, she shifted into a new role as a host for Bally Sports North broadcasts.
