Gregg Popovich retired from professional coaching after this season, leaving a huge step in NBA history with his legacy with the San Antonio Spurs.
Popovich already missed out on the whole 2024-25 campaign due to his health issues.
On April 15th, Popovich had an emergency situation in a restaurant which saw him getting in the hospital as soon as possible.
911 call about the situation itself was revealed by TMZ, showcasing the shock of people witnessing the scene.
In the audio, you can hear a man tell law enforcement back on April 15 that Popovich -- who he didn't ID by name on the call -- had just passed out at a San Antonio-area Ruth's Chris Steak House.
Initially, the man said the former Spurs coach, whom he described as a restaurant "guest," was "non-responding", though he later amended his words to note that Pop was actually "barely responding."
Fortunately, just seconds later, he added that Popovich had started to slowly come around.
"OK," the caller said, "he's responding now." "He passed out for a little bit," the man added.
