The San Antonio Spurs won Saturday’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves by a final score of 113-103. They now hold a record of 3-3 for the 2024-25 NBA season. However, they may encounter challenges, as concerning news regarding their head coach, Gregg Popovich, has emerged.
Recent reports from Shams Charania of ESPN indicate that Popovich experienced a health issue prior to Saturday’s game. Although the specific nature of the medical problem has not been disclosed, the news has stirred concern among Spurs fans.
Charania also reported that Popovich will be out for an indefinite period, which includes the games on Monday against the Los Angeles Clippers and Wednesday against the Houston Rockets.
According to reports, assistant coach Mitch Johnson will serve as the interim head coach for the team while Popovich focuses on his recovery. Johnson will utilize his experience and knowledge of the game to effectively guide the players until Popovich is ready to return to the sidelines.
A Look At Gregg Popovich’s Journey With The Spurs
Popovich has been notably vocal about various political issues in recent months. During the current U.S. election cycle, he has been especially critical of former President Donald Trump. The team could face significant challenges in his absence, as he has been the franchise’s head coach since 1996.
Popovich is currently the longest-tenured active head coach in the NBA. Over the years, the 75-year-old has transformed his team into a consistent contender in the league. With an impressive record, Popovich holds the title for the most wins of any coach in NBA history.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest coaches of all time, he has led his team to five NBA championships. Due to his remarkable efforts, he has also won the NBA Coach of the Year award three times.
