The ESPYS remembers people in sports that we lost over the past year during its "In Memoriam" segment, but there was a notable absence Wednesday night.

Flip Saunders was not in the ESPY's tribute video. A travesty — Sportstalk Minnesota (@MINNYsportstalk) July 14, 2016

Former NBA coach Philip "Flip" Saunders was not shown during the television airing of the ESPYS, and it caught the ire of people on social media. Saunders died in October after announcing his Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnosis just a few months earlier.

Saunders, who coached the Timberwolves, Pistons, Wizards and then the Wolves again, was also an analyst for ESPN. His absence from the televised memoriam segment seemed odd considering his large impact in the league, and his former position with the network.

Mistakes happen, but if ESPN forgot to mention Flip, that's pretty bad. Former employee + beloved NBA figure. — Phil Mackey (@PhilMackey) July 14, 2016

It seems Saunders was part of the segment, but somehow his slide didn't get aired. There were times the camera zoomed in on singer Andra Day, although in most shots you could see the background as well. A Reddit user who claims to have attended the event says Saunders was shown and "got a decently loud reaction from the crowd."

UPDATE: ESPN responded on Thursday afternoon.

"Flip was included in the segment. There was an unfortunate camera cut and so those in the audience were the only ones who caught his inclusion in the piece. It was an unfortunate mistake."
