Gregg Popovich recovering well from health issues
After 29 years on the sidelines, making himself the winningest coach in NBA history, and guiding San Antonio to five NBA titles, Gregg Popovich notably stepped down from his head coaching position with the Spurs last year.
The decision came after he suffered a mild stroke, forcing him to miss the final 77 games of the 2024-25 campaign.
Still, the basketball great maintained his team president role within the franchise, helping the Spurs manage their basketball operations department while providing blunt yet insightful feedback on the team's performances.
Throughout San Antonio's breathtaking run in last season's NBA Playoffs, reports have emerged that Popovich constantly kept his presence active, giving the Spurs needed constructive criticism in wins and losses. His support served as a crucial element for Victor Wembanyama and the talented group to make it all the way to the NBA Finals.
In the end, the Spurs and the entire San Antonio fanbase can only be ecstatic about Popovich's promising health recovery.
