Spurs Coach Gregg Popovich's Return Remains Uncertain After Stroke

The 76-year-old NBA legend continues his rehabilitation while staying connected with the team from afar.

Gregg Popovich, the NBA's all-time wins leader and five-time champion, has been recovering from a stroke suffered on November 2, 2024.
Spurs CEO R.C. Buford stated that Popovich is making progress in his rehabilitation, but no timeline has been set for his return to coaching.
Interim coach Mitch Johnson has led the Spurs to a 17-19 record in Popovich's absence, with Popovich remaining actively involved by offering feedback and guidance remotely.
Spurs players, including Chris Paul, have expressed appreciation for Popovich's continued engagement, as he regularly communicates with them after games.
Popovich's absence is felt during the team's trip to Paris, a city he loves, where the Spurs are playing two games against the Indiana Pacers this week.
