Many know Gregg Popovich as the GOAT coach who brought 5 championships to San Antonio. But more than his achievements, his longevity and love for basketball are the most rewarding gifts he has given to both the Spurs franchise and the NBA.
After suffering a mild stroke in November 2024, Pop will not return to the sidelines this season and is questionable for any comeback at all, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.
First was Wemby's season-ending injury, and now there's Pop's indefinite return.
The whole state of Texas is praying for the Spurs right now 🙏

“I think what this team struggles with is some things I can bring… Some more self creation outside of [Victor Wembanyama]… Even in games I haven’t played well, I still command attention.”
